Extraordinary news that ATOS, the French owned company responsible for DWP medical examinations are to sponsor the Paralympics.

There is massive evidence of inappropriate medical evidence being submitted to DWP benefit decision makers by ATOS health care professionals which then results in disabled people having their benefits stopped. It will be interesting to learn how ATOS feel they can sponsor the premier sports event for disabled people without a shadow of a blush.
Latest example of the role of ATOS is in a report by a group of Scottish GPs: Note the reference to the ATOS Medical Assessment Centre in Glasgow as "Lourdes": where the sick go in and come out cured.
