Hospital consultants should work weekends

The simple answer is no they they dont and neither do our rapid response team. But try and find a report on the sickness levels of these teams due to stress because of understaffing. In our team alone we have lost 4 members that have not been replace because of lack of funding. That means less people are being seen in their homes and being kept out of hospital. FACT.

A further example of the need to cull the box ticking, Bobby Bullshit, target driven, over paid management who's numbers ballooned under Labour. Put the wage budget where it will make a difference to patients.

Going back to the report I wonder if the Doctors representatives will sit down with the NHS like grown ups and try to solve this weekend issue ?
