I will take the GPs word on this over Mr Cameron's any day of the week and it seems, certainly for GP services,that most GPs are likely strongly against the idea.
I don't see how care can be improved by making those already stretched to the limit to have to do even more.

I strongly disagree...the staff rotas have been way too inflexible resulting in disgracefully high death rates at the weekend. where the majority of hospitals wont even scan people on the weekends for potentially life threatening stuff like blood clots....that's wrong and frankly I don't care about whata millionaire gp says, they get plenty of time off and make a fortune too...the nhs isn't about just the staff, ultimately its about the patients. getting millions scanned earlier will save the nhs an absolute fortune long term and saves millions of lives , gets people back to work....the nhs has need a better work rota for decades. its run like an ailing civil service. instead it must be a modern totally efficient caring compassionate 24/7 service in a massively populated nation that works 7 days a week....mortality rates should be the same across every day. to die simply because its a weekend is a farking travesty
