The Department: How a Violent Government Bureaucracy Killed Hundreds and Hid the Evidence
‘A must-read exposé of one of Britain’s biggest hidden scandals’ Frances Ryan, Guardian journalist and author of Crippled: Austerity and the Demonisation of Disabled People
‘This is the definitive proof of how government austerity hasn’t just harmed disabled people, it has killed them’ John McDonnell MP
In the early 2010s, reports began to emerge of deaths linked to a government department. Suicide notes, coroners’ reports, and research by disabled activists pointed to failings within the Department for Work and Pensions – the DWP – the government body responsible for the disability benefits system.
As years passed, and austerity tightened its grip, the death toll mounted, and an even more disturbing picture emerged: bureaucracy, politicians, and the private sector had combined over thirty years to reckless, deadly effect.
