Stephen Day
The extraordinary trail of misery left across the country by a love cheat conman has been described by traumatised victims.
Job losses, mental breakdowns and plunging property values have all been suffered by victims of Stephen Day, a Manchester account who stole from members of the public, businesses and the NHS to fund a luxury lifestyle.
Earlier this month the Ancoats businessman was jailed for over 11 years after admitting various frauds totalling £1.4m. Now, the extent and effect of his deceit on his victims can be revealed, after the Manchester Evening News obtained statements from a number of them.
But the Trust continues to refuse to answer this newspaper’s questions about what due diligence it carried out before hiring Day, whether his performance and attendance were adequate, whether the trust was defrauded, and the circumstances of his departure.
Alex Stewart, chief executive of patient group Healthwatch Norfolk, said: “They have to be as open and transparent as possible.
“We should know what lessons have been learned as a result of the incident, and how we know it won’t happen again.”
Three trusts, 20 companies, and one angina attack
Between 2011 and 2014 Day, of Quiech Mill, Blairgowrie, used his status to be appointed as director, financial director or company secretary of four organisations including a care home provider for vulnerable people.
