Letters: Telling tales about work assessment

was more than a little disbelief that we read the defense of John Mackintosh HealthCare Atos in assessing people allocating employment support (letters, April 4). Mackintosh cites the opinion of the National Audit Office as saying the quality of the assessment is only one factor in 0.3% of successful calls. However, it is judged on a single criterion -. The quality of Atos provides information to the Department of Work and Pensions

The DWP has created a process that limits people's ability to present the complexity of their conditions. If Atos assessors were a work halfway decent, could challenge this approach and ensure that people have the right information evaluated them. Evaluations should then lead to the result from the first, instead of people who are forced to call the situation unbearable and review.
also find the ridiculous idea that Atos provides professional service and compassion. The stories we have collected to write two plays, stories and monologues Atos Atos suggest a different experience. All our employees have described the evaluation as degrading and stressful, evaluators act as robots approach checkbox and ignorance of the conditions under which they were assessed

• Atos Healthcare, of course, is to obey orders, and paid handsomely for it. But it is time to end this shameful situation. The completion of the campaign game ESA asked the government to abandon because of ESA and to terminate the contract Atos. As part of this campaign, the collective stories Atos organized a reading of the mass of our future work in Oxford, Lampeter and Cardiff, with videos, podcasts and tweets take all day (atosstories.blogspot.co.uk) .
