DWP Publish Secret Atos Origin Advice Lines

January 23, 2011

As well as Trolling Tories tomorrow why not give Atos a call.  Here’s the phone numbers they didn’t want you to see taken straight from: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/healthcare-professional/guidance/atos-healthcare/

“Advice from Atos

Atos Healthcare can give telephone advice to clinicians on medical matters relating to:

  • certification – such as completion of certificates and reports
  • disability benefits.

They are only able to offer general advice and cannot discuss individual cases of people who are being assessed for benefit. This advice service is strictly for healthcare professionals.

Atos Healthcare can also provide more formal educational sessions to clinicians by prior arrangement.

    This is because the ICO has forced DWP to publish contract etc. details for Atos Origin.

    They however have not actively promoted the details, just left it there to be found.

    I would just like to give my support to your cause, I know many friends who have been treated appalingly by Atos Healthcare and the DWP, the people need to complain as much as possible, target MPs, Minister’s, the DWP with mass email or letter’s, keep up the great work I am putting your site details up on my blog links section on my site.

    Just out of stupidity…

    Atos Origin is an IT company. IT also stands for Independent Tier (IT). Atos Origin has two companies with similar names.

    01240677 ATOS ORIGIN IT SERVICES LIMITED
    01245534 ATOS ORIGIN IT SERVICES UK LIMITED

    Perhaps one deals with the IT side of things? We all know it is probably just a business division sorting the stuff out. Then again it could be… WYMAN DILLON RESEARCH who does the feedback for Atos Origin. They claim DWP under their belt.

    Atos Origin also did a testimonial…

    “Wyman Dillon provides independent market research services for our Medical Services contract with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and has done so for over 10 years. In recent years Wyman Dillon’s market research services have also been used on many of our occupational health contracts, such as with Royal Mail Group and Government Departments. Atos Origin is the largest provider of occupational health services in the UK.

    The service is provided to a high quality and always on time. However, the outstanding feature of the service is the willingness by Wyman Dillon management to understand the complexity of the customer’s business and to provide professional and appropriate advice.There is a willingness to help which I have not encountered to the same degree with other service providers. ” Atos Healthcare

    (The bold text is added by me, maybe its code for something lol)

    (Taken from: http://www.wymandillon.co.uk/testimonials.php)

    Even Richard Long (an Applications Developer) has run favours for them.

    Richard is an experienced project manager of online research, including programming in several survey software packages, and has run projects for Ofgem, Atos Healthcare (Department of Work and Pensions) and The Oxford Group (HR Consultancy).

    OK, probably nothing, but 10 years relationship cannot be overlooked.

    Could try forcing their hand by saying that if they refuse it will be your opinion that the independent tier are heavily related with ATOS HEALTHCARE, DWP or the government of the day. Use ATOS & DWP words against them it is hard to denounce their own wording.

    I suspect this company are part of the ATOS empire even though the address is different, mainly because such a large company like ATOS would not allow its name to be used by anyone else.

    Could the ESA WCA system run by Atos Healthcare withstand the probings of a Judicial Review, I do not believe it could.
    To me it is obvious the Decision Making has been sub delegated to Atos, even Professor Harrington said the DM’s were rubber stamping the Atos HCP’s decisions.
    Rubber Stamping the Decisions is not , by definition “making the decisions” the Secretary of State is in breach of his powers , in which He is obliged to MAKE the decisions through his legally appointed DM’s.
    If a Judicial Review established the decisions were made by a third party they would become null and void , this would put the DWP and the Government in a precarious position.
    Lets hope Justice is seen to be done.
