Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
Why is it that ATOS have won this contract, l dont know. They dont bother obtaining a GP details for the patient. As they just decide that a patient - even if his is dying, is fit for work to save the government spending money on benefit.
As far as l know - isn't the Patients details strictly confidential. And doesn't the Data Protection act come into it.
Many times l have contact the surgery on behalf od my wife and the first thing they say is ' We are not allowed to give this out due to the DPA.
