Detection. 6.4.1 CFS undertakes a range of initiatives that centre on the analysis, prioritisation and progression of fraud related allegations. CFS continues to develop an intelligence-led capability, working together across the public sector and external organisations to share information, identify risk and develop proactive, joined-up approaches to countering fraud. Detection work includes: • Providing a confidential fraud reporting facility through the CFS website; • Providing confidential dedicated telephone ‘fraud-hotline’ reporting facility; • Intelligence Alerts warning of the latest methods being used by fraudsters; • An Intelligence Assessment of threats to NHS Scotland funds and assets • A data-analytics service focussed at programmes, processes and activities at the highest risk of fraud. • Analysis to provide fraud measurement calculations; • Development of specific toolkits that allow cross-comparative and trend analysis of data to identify indicators that may reveal fraud; • Support to Local Intelligence Networks (LINs) to promote the safer management and use of controlled drugs and to share relevant intelligence which helps to identify cases where action may need to be taken in respect of controlled drugs; • Responsibility for patient exemption checking. Fraudulent claims for exemption from NHS charges are investigated and analysed by CFS.
