Cameron’s ‘vision’ for seven-day NHS met with criticism

David Cameron’s “vision” of a seven-day NHS service has been met with scepticism by health experts along with the threat of industrial action.

The British prime minister promised to “transform” health services and “become the first country in the world to deliver a truly seven-day NHS”.

He said it was not about NHS staff working seven days a week, but about “different shift patterns — so that our doctors and nurses are able to give that incredible care whenever it’s needed”.
