Former manager sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for GP practice theft

Former GP Practice Manager, Kimberley Wilson, was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment, suspended for 2 years, 25 days of rehabilitation and 200 hours of unpaid work at Swansea Crown Court after she admitted to stealing £49,213.08 from Castle Surgery GP Practice, Neath for her own personal gain. Kimberley Wilson was ordered to pay back a sum of £25,000 to her former employer.

The case was brought by NHS Counter Fraud Service (NHS CFS) Wales who investigated Wilson after suspicions were raised by the practice’s accountants.

It was discovered that Wilson was using the practice’s business bank account to buy goods for herself and transferring money into her personal account, under the references “petty cash” or “advance”.

An NHS CFS Wales financial investigator obtained a production order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 which gave access to Wilson’s bank accounts, this proved the accountants’ findings.

Wilson was later found to have spent most of the money on her day-to-day expenses and to fund her gambling habits.

She was employed at the practice from April 2019 until March 2023 when she was dismissed for gross misconduct.

In May 2024, she pleaded guilty to one charge of Fraud by abuse of position at Swansea Magistrates Court.

Emily Thompson, Counter Fraud Specialist at NHS CFS Wales, said: "Wilson abused her position of trust to steal money that was meant for NHS patient care. Her actions were motivated by greed and represent a serious breach of the trust placed in her by her employers and colleagues. The sentencing outcome today sends a clear message that diverting funds from the NHS is unacceptable and will result in serious consequences, including a criminal record."
