Andrew Shaw, prosecuting, told the court that during visits to care homes Jaques had taken away lists of residents he had asked for.
“He would take these lists of residents away and fill out claim forms for treating patients without having treated them at all,” said Mr Shaw,“On a number of occasions not only did he not provide treatment but because the population of care homes changed quite regularly, a number of people for whom he was claiming to have provided treatment had died.”
Jaques admitted fraud between June 16, 2009, and March 12, 2011, by dishonestly submitting multiple FP17 claim forms for payment of dental treatment in respect of patients neither seen or treated by him. Jailing him for 18 months, Judge John Holt said Jaques had been a respected professional who was expected to be trusted.
