A mother who admitted “grossly exaggerating” her health symptoms during a £4 million clinical negligence claim against an NHS trust has been jailed for six months for contempt of court. Holly White, 29, was caught on video driving to supermarkets and walking around without any disability.
She had previously told experts she needed a crutch. She claimed she could only walk a few steps before having to stop and rest.
A High Court judge ruled she “dishonestly and intentionally made false statements” knowing they would “would interfere with the administration of justice by potentially increasing her entitlement to compensation arising from her increased clinical negligence claim” against North Bristol NHS Trust.
