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.

A poll conducted by 'doctors.net.uk' on 5,500 doctors, which has been included in the study, showed that 68 per cent of doctors believe patients admitted on weekends receive poorer care.
