For every person admitted on a sunday they were 16% more likely die than those admitted on a Wednesday...so if 6000 people died after being admitted on Wednesday, that would equate to 7000 people dying after being admitted on a sunday. the doctors and labour, disingenuously deny there is any link between the skeleton staff provided at weekends and this 16% difference in death rates. that's like denying 2 + 2 is 4. you have skeleton staff and more people will get sick, less will be treated to the same standard and yes sadly more people will die. its high time we had these proper comprehensive 7 day a week shift patterns to ensure the exactly same staffing and levels of care are the same high standard throughout , its frankly insane its never happened before
