Here is a brilliant radio interview well worth listening to. The interviewee is a cuts campaigner and the campaigns of the home organisation are so effective that their Facebook page is being blocked by the subject of the campaigns.

A clear example of how important facts about ATOS practises are hidden behind commercial obscurantism is contained in this extract from the House of Lords' written questions for 31st July: Asked by The Countess of Mar To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the annual turnover of (1) general practitioners, (2) nurses, and (3) physiotherapists, employed by Atos Healthcare to undertake the work capability assessment for each of the past five years.[HL1905] The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Lord Freud): Data on the annual turnover of Atos Healthcare professionals (general practitioners, nurses and physiotherapists) are commercial in confidence. They cannot be released as release of the information would prejudice the interests of Atos Healthcare and the department's future dealings with Atos Healthcare or other service providers. Good isn't it!
