Manager ordered to pay costs after lying on CV

A senior NHS manager who lied on her CV has been fined £9,600 and given a suspended prison sentence, people hoping for sales recruitment have been told.

PersonnelToday.com reported that Kerrie Devine, of Devon, claimed that she held a degree in human resource management and said she was also part way through a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development course when she applied for a promotion with the Devon primary care trust.

Exeter Crown Court heard last week how Ms Devine pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud by false representation, with a further 150 hours of unpaid community service also added to her sentence.

Debbie Lloyd, operational fraud manager at the NHS Counter Fraud Service, said: "This positive outcome to our investigation is a reminder that fraud against the NHS can be committed by people in well paid, senior positions. The NHS Counter Fraud Service will impartially investigate all suspicions of fraud and wherever appropriate will pursue prosecutions."

Last month, Sally Bercow, the wife of House of Commons speaker John, faced allegations that she also lied on her CV about Oxford University qualifications.
