Study Reveals Poor Health Care Provided to Patients at Weekends

It has been revealed that NHS patients having an operation on a Friday are 24 per cent more likely to die than if they had one earlier in the week.

Statistics have shown that people admitted to hospital have a 20 per cent greater chance of dying at a weekend, and are also 3.9 per cent more likely to be readmitted in an emergency on a Saturday or Sunday, the Independent reported.
