Sounds like Sunak is trying to pry medical assessment out of the hands of doctors/other current professionals and into the realm of the more "economically motivated" shall we say. As well as potentially downplaying just how serious a concern the state of mental health response is in...I was going to say Britain but in a lot of countries honestly.
