The government is preparing to oust Atos Healthcare from its £500m contract administering millions of fit-for-work tests for sick and disabled people, according to documents seen by the Guardian

Atos has become the lightning rod for widespread public and political anger over the health test, known as the work capability assessment.
The test has been criticised by MPs and campaigners as crude and inhumane,
amid mounting evidence that hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people
have been wrongly judged to be fit for work and ineligible
for government support.

That would be typical. Replace one inadequate entity with another LOL

My daughter has been put through the mill with all their rigmarole
 
It has been a horrible time for a lot of vulnerable people in society. I sincerely hope those in government can see the wider picture outside their glass bubble and try harder to build a better, more equal society for everyone.
 
al, does that mean Render to Caesar what is Caesars, it will not be long for society to exercise their vote:)
 
And all this in an effort to weed out the maligners... but they are the ones who know how to play the system anyway.
