    FWIW here's the facts behind the dispute. Most of what we hear is, as ever, noise.

    Personally I find it ridiculous that the massive investment we have in equipment and buildings is not in use at weekends.

    To put 'our' investment into 24/7 use, yes, we shall need consultants, radiographers, pharmacists etc working over the weekends.

    The first move towards this is with the pay reform being offered to the Junior Doctors which will NOT cause a drop in salary OR increase hours worked (which have already been reduced by the UK Working Time Regulations) but WILL reduce the financial incentive of Health Service Providers (dread phrase!) NOT to employ them at weekends due to the premiums being paid now for Sat/Sun working.
