A convicted fraudster who conned the local NHS out of almost £2.2million, has had his ill-gotten gains confiscated by the courts.

Trevor Barry Cosson, 38, of Tenterden Rise, Hastings, was jailed for five years and four months last summer after admitting defrauding the Hastings and Rother Primary Care Trust (PCT) and East Sussex Downs and Weald PCT.

Last Friday (March 27), at Blackfriars Crown Court in London, Judge Blacksell confiscated £2,161,758.45 from Cosson, which must be paid in compensation to the NHS.
