I have just read the report, down the bottom of the page they are wanting people to email them about there treatment from atos, this is a good way to highlight there awful treatment of people .

It's a disgraceful way to treat people, I'm shocked by the things I've read.

I just sent my comments in - not the first time that ATOS have been criticised though.

Disgraceful, i think it just proves what we, who have had to undergo the WCA at Atos, knew already. those who are sick and/or vulnerable, are being treated like second class citizens, who lie and cheat just so we can languish on benefits, because we prefer to shirk and skive.

One of the first rules in medicine is to do the patient no harm. Just the stress and worry of being summoned to Atos, causes us harm.

Ooh I better shut up as I am starting to rant

I don`t know if this is right but the other day I was told that ATOS at the moment are going through the worst illnesses first, all the people who DWP class as really poorly, so god help the people who are not as poorly or disabled as us, they don`t stand a chance.

Heard the doctor talking on Radio 4 news last night, when he talked about the terminally ill man you could hear how upset he was.

I fail to understand why the news people don't request, under the Freedom of Information Act, the figures of how many Atos assessments there have been, how many rejected, how many appealed and how many appeals were successful. As taxpayers, we pay for these assessments so we are entitled to know the results!

I just think that would make really interesting reading.

After my comments yesterday on the government outsourcing to private for profit companies ATOS being one (with a very bad track record - this is not the first time they have had bad press on this subject) feel vindicated for my rant. Just pleased it is back out in the public domain again.
