You appear (imho) to be confusing (and I understand why, reading the article) the agencies who assess people for disability conditions, and those who are tasked with finding people jobs.

First of all, we will give everyone a proper assessment, whether they are on incapacity benefit or on jobseeker’s allowance. We will give everyone the help they need, the training they need to get back to work. And we will use the most modern methods to make sure this happens. And the absolute keystone is insuring that the agencies responsible for returning people to work are paid on results. If they don’t get people into work, they don’t get paid. And they don’t get paid instantly. As in Australia, the agent who helps someone into work should then be paid when they have been in work for a year. And we shouldn’t shy away from using the private sector and the voluntary sector to get people from benefits into work. It has worked in other countries, and it can work here

I was hoping for something a little more definitive.
Strangely enough, the only link I can find for a doctor being reprimanded by Atos was for one who thought they were letting "scroungers" (his words, not mine) through - link
As he says

One of these targets concerns the number of complaints from patients. If the company keeps the complaints from claimants below a certain level then it makes more money.
Conversely, if the complaints rise, it loses money.
There is, therefore, an in-built incentive to avoid aggravating the patients.
Doctors soon find out that if they give a claimant low scores and the claimant is denied benefits, they are more likely to find themselves the subject of a complaint
