I posted on this yesterday but really thought it wasnt serious. To my alarm today on BBC news and loads of papers I find:

Quote:
An independent review of sickness absence is believed to have concluded that family doctors are not well-placed to judge what work people with long-term illnesses can do and have no incentive to refuse to sign sick notes.


Dennis Skinner seems to have it right when he states
Quote:
"Last year, the government said GPs should be accountants in charge of the money that is spent in the NHS. This year they want assessors to be GPs. It's crazy. No wonder the country is going to the dogs."

The murmering in Tory circles is that it could be passed to..... guess who?????? Yes! ATOS to administer. The thinking is that they have the trained staff to do the assessment so they wouldn't even need to use proper doctors.
Who knows? Maybe ATOS can pop in a do a few operations, diagnose and prescribe.

This is so ludicrous that it would be laughable if not so awful.

I am known by those close to me to be calm and collected in any crisis or problem but this is making me seriously angry.
To quote a certain person of the green persuasion " Mr Cameron, don't make me angry. You wont like it if you make me angry!" Now where did I leave that tactical nuke??

I wonder how many people here voted for them???? ( and if so how many will repeat it next time??)

according to the Independent:

"commissioned by Baroness Black ( government director for health and work and heavily involved in welfare reform bill) and David Frost ( former director of British Chambers of Commerce).. who said "“I have developed relationships with the new Government and the long awaited Spending Review has now been delivered – a long-term road map for re-balancing the UK economy."


Not too independent I think!!

just when you would of thought the condoms, could not be more vile in the oppression of the sick and weak and disabled in society along comes another bomb shell from this cruel party. another decision made by heartless creatures, the latest move will be to put profit motivated assessors to take the place of doctors to assess weather you are ill or not, whilst doctors steer away from medical prognosis to look after the accounts of there yearly finances. is this what ca-moron meant when he cried those crocodile tears ,what a festering piece of scum that man is .remember when he was spouting his lies using his son as a prop and publicity stunt? is this what he meant when he said he would look after the people who are the most challenged. you lier. and as for the olympics ,atos is running the It, the para olympions of our nation should boycot them.
