A 'Walty Mitty' fake NHS boss who made £1m by lying about his qualifications to secure senior jobs will have to pay £96,000 after Supreme Court hearing. Jon Andrewes, 63, called himself 'doctor' and put fake PhDs on his CV to become chairman of two NHS trusts and a hospice - despite being a builder.
He was jailed for two years in 2017 - where the court heard the disgraced led an "outwardly prestigious life based on a staggering series of lies" - after holding top jobs in the NHS.
Andrewes, from Totnes, Devon, falsified his way into roles at a hospice and two South West health trusts where he earned £643,602.91. Despite obtaining the six figure salary, the only qualifications he had were a higher education certificate in social work from the 1970s and a PGCE in teaching.
