Doctors raise concerns about HSE plan to roster seven-day working week

HSE chief executive Bernard Gloster told each of the HSE regions he expected 'up to 10%' of staff working weekends.

If seven-day working goes ahead, the public could see a “better experience” from the health services by June, but unions have questioned the practicalities of the proposed plans.

As outlined by HSE chief executive Bernard Gloster, the change is not just for patients on wards. It could lead to longer hours for out-patient clinics and some community care.
