In his first prominent speech since winning the general election on 7th May 2015, Prime Minister David Cameron expressed his “shock” at the death rates in hospitals at the weekends compared to weekdays. He pointed out how many severely ill patients arrive at the hospital at a time when NHS staffing is at its lowest.
Cameron has announced that thousands of more GPs will be recruited to the NHS so that patients are assured that they can be treated seven days a week. David Cameron also promises to fulfil his campaign pledge to increase NHS spending by £8 billion a year and also made the NHS pledge for funding for more staff and faster access to drugs.
