While this is an incredibly serious issue, the fraud the article focuses on is billing for services that don't really get provided, which is very different than pushing unnecessary procedures.

The latter seems like fraud also.

I'd guess that in a similar situation of knowingly performing unnecessary surgical procedures would constitute assault in the uk. Among other things.
