‘Senior doctors’ and ‘senior decision makers’ to be in hospital 7 days a week 🤯 This is ALWAYS the case. Either those working in the HSE don’t understand how the HSE actually works or they are deliberately trying to shift blame to staff

Hospitals told to implement seven-day working with ‘immediate effect’ to ease overcrowding

Move aims at discharge of patients at weekends at same rate as during week with goal of freeing up beds
