FOI reveals hospitals ‘unprepared for seven-day health service’

A majority of NHS hospitals have not planned or budgeted for a move to a seven-day health service, according to new figures.

Four out of five NHS trusts have not calculated staffing levels or costs associated with weekend working, according to Freedom of Information requests obtained by Sky News.

Those which had made plans warned millions in extra funding would be needed, along with more staff, to make the necessary changes.
