Scottish Ambulance School Staff Investigated, Suspended
THE SCOTTISH AMBULANCE SERVICE TRAINING HEADQUARTERS at Barony Castle, Peebles, was raided yesterday by the National Health Service (NHS) fraud investigators. As a result, three high-level staff members have been place on immediate suspension while the investigation continues.
They are facing claims that they have siphoned off hundreds of thousands of Pounds over a period of eight years by running their own private businesses and utilizing Scottish Ambulance employees and vehicles to fulfill illicit contracts.
Their scheme fell apart when one of the SA ambulances was involved in a crash in Ireland. When the Irish police reported the accident to Scottish Ambulance, the managers were puzzled because they didn’t have any jobs running in Ireland at the time.
The Glasgow Daily Record has the full STORY.
