Abstract
The intentions of a number of national strategies and other initiatives to address fraud are reviewed in the context of one UK region. This paper considers how far various agencies in that region have responded to fraud. It then discusses which factors appear to have influenced the role of the strategies and other initiatives as an anti-fraud framework or to deliver anti-fraud work.
