(asked on 27th May 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how his Department will meet the cost of making the NHS a full seven day a week service.
This question was answered on 3rd June 2015
The Department is working with NHS England to ensure that seven day services will be implemented in a way that is affordable and focussed both on improving efficiency and delivering clear benefits to patients. The costs will depend on a number of factors, which will be subject to further work as detailed implementation plans are developed. The exact health budget for future years will be determined by the Spending Review.
