Health support worker lied about visiting elderly man who later died, GPS data reveals


Photo / 123rfGPS data helped a community health service to untangle an employee's web of lies that covered up her failure to check on an elderly client just days before he died. Names of the worker and the community health service are suppressed in the report to protect privacy. But the community health service was condemned for an "inadequate, delayed and piecemeal" investigation into the incident. She lied in another interview a month later and in a written statement to the community health service. It also recommended that the community health service consider whether staff attendance at clients' homes should be routinely monitored or randomly audited.
