Statement made on 7 July 2022

Statement UIN HCWS192

Statement

The Government has announced in the Spring Statement that it will create a Public Sector Fraud Authority (PSFA) to fight public sector fraud.

The PSFA will focus on performance and outcomes, building expert-led services to support government departments and public bodies to combat fraud. It will bring increased scrutiny across the system.

The government had planned for the PSFA to be launched in July 2022, with a statement to the House. The planned statement will be made, but at a later date.

The PSFA will be part of wider spending by the government of over £750 million to combat fraud. Once launched, it will replace the existing Centre of the Counter Fraud Function.
