Dr Tariq Al-Habary, who was employed as a locum during the pandemic, presented falsified timesheets at Orpington and Princess Royal hospitals, claiming pay for shifts he did not work. This was deemed calculated fraud by the tribunal, which highlighted that Al-Habary had forged signatures, showing a clear intent to deceive. His actions were not seen as mere mistakes; rather, they reflected persistent dishonesty for financial gain from the public purse.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service concluded that Dr Al-Habary's actions were 'persistent, cunning, deceitful, and calculated fraud.' Colleagues had initially praised his skills, but the evidence of his wrongdoing, including the lack of swipe card usage on claimed workdays, highlighted a serious breach of trust, leading to his removal from the medical register.
