Mother spotted on Ibiza hen party jailed over 'widespread exaggeration and lies' in €2.9m botched surgery claim

A woman in England who tried to cheat the British health service out of more than £2m (€2.3m) by exaggerating injuries from botched surgery has been jailed after she was spotted at a hen party in Ibiza.

Lesley Maria Elder, 50, from Poole, Dorset in the south-west of England claimed she was left disabled by constant pain following a vaginal mesh operation and could no longer work or do routine tasks without help.
