The best system it would seem to me is the claimants own GP deciding if he/she is able or fit, not some bureaucrat who no doubt has to refuse a percentage of claims to make the targets, or doesn't this or previous governments trust our GP's?
Imagine the savings by just letting the GP decide!! I mean who is better qualified than them?
