Howard, you are falling into the same trap as with the Junior Doctor strikes which used to be quite fashionable.
With the same number of doctors treating the same number of patients IF some of them were working at weekend instead of Mon to Fri it would
Allow more patients to book appointment without taking time off work which is good for the countries productivity.
Free up the Golf Courses at weekends.
(It would also allow the same number of practice doctors to use surgeries with fewer rooms)
What's not to like? (Unless you are a highly paid doctor who we have spent hundreds of thousands training who feels that unlike most workers in 2017 it's his/her God given right to have every weekend off)
