Description

New reports reveal that Covid-19 support programs cost taxpayers nearly eleven billion pounds due to fraud and errors. The Covid Counter Fraud Commissioner, Tom Hayhoe, is set to share his final report with Members of Parliament, highlighting a significant lack of anti-fraud controls within these schemes. This situation has led to widespread concern, with only a small portion of the lost funds recovered. The findings will likely spark discussions about accountability and the need for robust oversight in future emergency spending.
