NFI Time - Did you know that your information will be included?

NHS Professionals will be participating in this year’s National Fraud Initiative (NFI). The NFI is an exercise that matches electronic data within and between public and private sector bodies to prevent and detect fraud. It is run every 2 years and co-ordinated by the Cabinet Office.

All NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are mandatory participants, along with all Councils, Home Office, Police, Fire and Rescue Service and the NHS Pension Scheme amongst others.

The data downloads occur at the end of September and these include NHS Payroll and Finance data. For further details please see information on the Cabinet Office National Fraud Initiative privacy notice.
