Not enough doctors for 7-day NHS

Postby annie » 16 Mar 2016, 09:08

There are not enough doctors to run a seven-day NHS in England, according to a leading doctor.

In a speech on Tuesday, Royal College of Physicians president Prof Jane Dacre will warn ministers the issue must be addressed if their policy is to work.

She will highlight research that shows vacant posts are not being filled and gaps in rotas are being seen.

Not surprised given how young doctors are treated, less going into the profession.
