DWP chief medical officer Dr Gail Allsopp talking about recent changes to training for assessors, and change to ‘clinical governance process’ in Sept 2024 when the FAS contracts were introduced. See Qs24-25

Lots else of interest but not strictly related to HTP (eg, Qs27-30 on prevention of future death reports)
