Stop the use of private firms in assessing people for disability benefits.

Petition Details

For the welfare of the sick and disabled of the UK, shouldn't the governments use of private firms be reassessed?

Additional Information

Medical evidence can be, and is, available from a claimants own medical professionals. Therefore, the use of private firms is not only of human cost to some of the most vulnerable people in our society, but also financially costly to the taxpayer.
As quoted from the Telegraph online on the 22nd of April, 'A report by the Work and Pensions Committee published in February found failings in the process for assessing personal independence payment (PIP) and employment support allowance (ESA) claims had contributed to a “pervasive lack of trust” in the system with “untenable human costs” to claimants, as well as financial costs to the public purse.'
