Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Adam Afriyie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
I am pleased that my hon. Friend raises the matter of assessments and what might be termed the 50 per cent. failure rate on incapacity benefit. Does he share my greatest concern that those with mental health challenges—in particular depression and bipolar depression—who are already undergoing enormous amounts of stress that is partially debilitating will be caused even greater stress if the facts and evidence do not come out, and if personal capability assessments are not reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they are better?
