Northern Ireland health fraud 'costs up to £250m'
Fraud could be costing the Northern Ireland health service up to £250m per year.
Investigators say they are dealing with a range of offences, from people obtaining fraudulent prescriptions to consultants claiming unworked hours.
To combat the problem, the Department of Health is launching a major counter fraud campaign for the month of October.
