: Dear Mr Hoban:

 

If you know where the audio recorders are, or how many there are, please;

 

Tell the five hundred or so claimants currently waiting for an audio recorded messical, despite your reluctance to advise claimants that audio recorded assessments are available, where you found the machines,

 

And

 

Let Atos know,

 

And

 

Reply to my freedom of info requests.

 

Yours sincerely, Margaret.

: Dear Mr Hoban:

 

If you know where Atos' mental function champions are please let me know.

 

During the last eighteen months or so several members of my self-help group, including myself, have tried to find one. Thus far, mental function champions are conspicuous by their absence! Bit like Atos personnel answering to Parliamentary committees!!

 

Yours sincerely, Margaret.

Oh dear ATOS have been stigmatized by bad press reporting Mark Hoban made this comment quite a few times but when asked about the stigmatization of the claimants due to press releases covering data from DWP it wasn't such a big issue.

 

Most of what the discussed was covered on Monday the same uhmmms and errrs used.

 

On the issue of recorded assessments Mark Hoban definitely put the onus on the claimant saying that they should be aware of the facility through the net and newspapers.
