Where is the money coming from

All hospitals in England will provide "a truly seven-day NHS" by 2020 under a future Conservative government, David Cameron has said.

At the party's spring forum, Mr Cameron said that more hospitals must provide top-level treatment at the weekend, starting with emergency care.

In a wide-ranging speech, he said his party's message to various sections of the population was: "We're with you."

Labour said Tory plans for "extreme" spending cuts threatened the NHS.

It has put the health service at the forefront of its own election campaign, with leader Ed Miliband promising on Friday to cap the amount of profit private firms can make from the NHS in England.

Maybe close more hospitals?
The bed blocking crisis has arisen because so many small cottage hospitals were closed in the last 10 years.

Absolutely true Wendy, the cottage hospitals were invaluable.
