So it's worth losing potentially thousands of talented professionals to other countries from a field of work where there are already not enough staff, to expand accessibility to some non-essential services to the weekend? Hunt claims more people die on weekends in hospitals due to lack of care. This is not the case and his reasoning is based on very flakey evidence. The NHS already is a seven-day service. Doctors, nurses, any anyone else who works in the health service sacrfice so much of their time and effort, for little pay (nurses, for example, have had their pay frozen for years while MPs have helped themselves to an 11% pay rise), to save lives. You'll miss them when they're gone, and Jeremy Hunt finally achieves his long-time aim to privatise health care in the UK.
