Hospitals and Gp's to offer services 7 days a week

The video discusses the current hospital operations limited to weekdays and the proposed changes to allow surgeries, scans, and consultations on weekends. It highlights the increased risk of patient mortality for weekend admissions and the need for 7-day operations to improve patient care. A London clinic already operates 7 days a week, showing the feasibility of such a system. Patients express the convenience of weekend appointments, and research indicates a 16% higher mortality rate for Sunday admissions. Discussions are ongoing with NHS leaders to assess the viability of a 7-day system.
