Benefit-assessment company Capita is going to court to try to reverse the "reputational damage" it says it suffered after a claimant died.

Victoria Smith died months after her personal independence payments were stopped following a Capita assessment.

The outsourcing company was ordered to pay £10,000 in damages over its handling of her disability claim.

It was found to have made incorrect statements but wants the county court verdict set aside and the case reheard.

Using Capita actually costs more than doing it in house.

But who cares? Not those who voted for the current Government.

Yes, they didnt have grayling

The Tory method of privatisation is to choose an operator that spends a few million on branding and then massively reduces service quality in order to cream off profits for rich shareholders.
 
I am surprised that Capita hasn't been hit by a class action lawsuit by claiments who have suffered loss or damage to their health due to Assessment reports from Capitas so called "medical professionals".
When you consider that the Work capability assessment model used by Capita is based on a discredited model used by American health insurance company Unum.
Unum was convicted of disability denial in American courts and fined millions of dollars.
It also had to pay 100's of millions in back payments to claiments who had their claims for benefits rejected due to assessment reports which were based on a model similar to the one used by Capita.
Unum has been advising the DWP on disability assessment policy for years , the fact that the DWP associated with a company which has been convicted of criminal behaviour says it all.​

And as you so eloquently acknowledged, Labour's method is to keep throwing money at them, ensuring no one goes bust, are you seriously suggesting nobody got rich off the back of a Labour outsourcing?, really?

Richard Branson of Virgincare fame might disagree with you, and his companies are registered offshore, and he's a remainer, what are your thoughts on that?

Incidentally, Virgincare have been creaming money off the NHS since 2006, when did the Torys come back into power?, 2010?
so going back to my original point, why do you feel that outsourcing is purely the domain of the Torys?
 
Branson has sense of entitlement that would make any benefit scounger blush, he sued the NHS because he didn't win a contract and they had to pay him £2million in compensation.
If he had any honour he would give the money back to NHS.

Don't worry about Branson, his past will catch up with him one day, it'll be enough to make Philip Green blush. Yes those remainers certainly have some choice role models.

Unfortunately he won that case because the stupid government has forced commissioners to work under complex competition law for idealogical reasons.

The NHS has been quietly underfunded and dismantled under the tories. The healthcare act 2012 was an abhomination.

Weird reasoning. So the NHS will be safe under the current Tory right wingers and the US healthcare lobby?

Keep selling your kids future down the drain.

What is difficult to understand is how Capita has and still is getting away with something which has been outlawed in other countries.
These types assessment models used by Capita have been judged by courts as nothing more than devices for disability denial.
People in Britain seem less inclined to assert their rights unlike the Americans who when denied their rightful entitlements have no problem sending in their Lawyers.
