Atos what are they doing next?

[mikeymack2002]

Does anyone know what Atos have gotten into since walking away from the DLA fiasco?

 

 

Believe it or not they are or may be running/managing the Child Care Payments from HMRC with National Savings and Investments (NS&I)

 

 

The reason for this is whilst watching a case in the Supreme Court (SC) recorded cases "TV" here

It now appears they are getting involved in the child care market? If you want to know more please follow the above link and have a look for yourself. This case was heard in the SC on the 31/03/2015, if they manage to do with the Child Care Payments as they did with DLA I wonder what could happen.....

 

 

Any thoughts?

Fantastic. Now despite birth certificates, doctors notes, school places and even registered midwives there at the birth, people will be told their children don't exist

An interesting point of contract is from 57:00m for about 10 minutes (first link post #1) Atos could even be providing the accounts, well worth a watch this case..

:Clarification:

 

Just to be clear, it was work capability assessments (part of the claims process for employment n support allowance) that Atos pulled out of.

 

Despite that ongoing fiasco, Atos retain several Government contracts. Including, in some parts of Britain, contracts to assess eligibility for a personal independence payment.
