  1. ATOS will insist that Atos IT Services – who are running the IT for the Olympics – is the parent company. Atos Healthcare are a seperate entity, in a DWP contract, and therefore the two are unrelated. This is how such protests will be dismissed.

    • But Atos IT Services is not Atos Healthcare’s parent company Mo, with Atos Healthcare being a trading division of Atos IT Services and there is a major difference,both in law and other ways between a subsidiary company and a trading division.

  2. Thanks. Haven’t a clue what that means but thought we’d agreed that Atos Healthcare doesn’t exist as a compnay and the cheques are identified as being from Atos Origin Medical Services…. Either way, Atos Origin IT Services will attempt to distance themselves to wriggle out of the problem I think?

  3. I read the original article in Private Eye, read your lead line and thought WHAT! Private Eye are very much on our side, TG.
    Private Eye are just brilliant at niggling away and not letting a story drop (how often do you see Eye passim, regular Eye readers?) Watch that space.

e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions

Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.
