The review also suggests tax breaks for firms which employ people who suffer from long-term conditions


Hardly the 'evil' attack the sick story the OP would have it portrayed as.

I'm completely in favour. If someone is long term sick, why wouldn't we want them to be properly assessed?
the GPs themselves are the best people to make that assessment not a bunch of people with, probably,dubious qualifications and a government set agenda
