This class act has just been jailed for stealing nearly £800,000 from the NHS by setting up two companies of which he was sole director and submitted false invoices which he then approved himself in his role as a NHS manager.
Bad Barry has a bit of form for being dodgy – “Chelmsford Crown Court heard Stannard had convictions for three previous offences, including theft by an employee in 1986.
There were also two offences in 2000 concerning a stolen blank MOT certificate that Stannard filled in with his vehicle’s details, one offence of handling stolen goods and one of forgery”. (Story and above quote courtesy of the Sun).
Why did nobody check – when I worked in the Civil Service I had to have an advanced criminal records check and sign the Official Secrets Act – how did Barry Stannard get away with withholding this relevant information about his criminal past?
Sentenced to five years, out in three with a tag, and not a thought about patients who will not be treated due to his dishonesty.
