Don't forget to add ATOS to this list, (yes first brought in by Labour)
but it's the use that Iain Duncan Smith, the DWP & others are using them thats the main problem
And that their actions, can mean they get paid twice (2nd time for even more money) for a high % of the People who deal with them. They 'fail' people and guess who deals with the appeals and re-assessments, yip ATOS
Plus they are NOWHERE near as successful as the media and IDS makes out, at cutting numbers
As was exposed during IDSs grilling by a Commons select committee, that lasted over 2hrs , that story managed to keep off the Front Pages, due to the Mandela debate in the House of Commons going on at the same time.
Just like IDSs announcement that the introduction of Universal Credit wasn't working ( after making headlines recently that it was all going brilliantly and according to plan), He managed to sneak that out, same time as Osborne released his 'Autumn statement' which took all the media attention.
That doesn't count the numbers who do win their appeals, meaning more costs involving the DWP
another similarity between ATOS, Serco & G4S and throw in Capita, another Government contractor
They PAID NO Corporation Tax , while running over £6bil UK Government contracts last year
