NHS suspected Fraud

Hello,

I work within the NHS sector and I have a colleague who is on my social media and to be blunt messages me and others a lot being very needy about this that are small and pointless. Ill name her X

Anyway about 4 months ago now she "hurt her back" at work and went off sick. She came back about a week ago for a day and has gone sick again with her back. She messages me to say she's bed bound and not able to move and doesn't leave the house.

HOWEVER...
Over the last week has been posting on BeReal, snapchat and instagram that she has been out drinking, live pictures of her in high heals, passed out drunk on the floor and living the life...all while off sick. As a group who she constantly messages, she knows where one of my other colleagues lives and on one occasion I was outside, on a dark road I left my parking lights on outside. I was in the house max 30 seconds when X text my friend saying "There's a car outside your house with its lights on" When questioned further X went on to say she was driving pass on the way to family. This I thought was so weird and freaky.

AIBU to report her for fraud. She is clearly not as bad as she makes out the fact she can get wasted most nights, and wears high heals with a bad back.

I have also looked I thought there was an NHS Fraud team outside of the trust I work for but can't seem to find it. This girl is 24.

How do you know she is off with a bad back? Could she be off with something else which wouldn't stop her getting drunk etc, but would mean she isn't able to work?

I think you should probably mind your own business.

I'd be tempted to do it. Why should she get paid for doing no work? This isn't an occasional sickie. It's a proper deception of a public service that is on its knees.

Babyst grow up and stop being a baby

Surely the first thing to do is report to her manager? Tactfully, not with all guns blazing. It may be there is a valid reason (people can be off sick but legitimately attending a social occasion), or she may be absolutely out of order and wasting public money. The manager can deal with it appropriately.
