We don't need to make junior doctors work the weekends because they already do! We need to get consultants, diagnostics, phlebotomists and admin staff working more weekends. If Hunt had picked his fight with them, I'd be backing him all the way

That's silliest post you ever written. youre trying to say the fact youre 16% more likely to die when admitted on a sunday than on a Wednesday has nothing to do with the fact there is skeleton staff on a sunday compared to Wednesday? youre in denial , youre fudging and hiding from the truth and reality and frankly youre lying to youself. no doubt if you had a close family member who had died on a sunday through not being able to get the full and proper medical attention you get in the midweek you would think very very differently.
your point about junior doctors is untrue. only SOME junior doctors work weekends, the majority do not. the other staff you mention will be shortly be put on similar work rotas to get the 24 hour care promosed
