Closed petition Replace ATOS ESA Assessments with NHS Assessments
Closed on
ATOS are a profit driven company and exist to deliver shareholder value. For this reason it is impossible to provide a service where impartiality is required.
Medical Assessments need to be carried out by the NHS. In particular claimants with mental healthcare issues need to be assessed by a qualified mental health nurse (not a ATOS HCP who has 17 days of training to become an HCP with 4 days spent on mental health - info came to light from an FOI request on training material)
