Fucking lie my arse.
2 months ago my boy was in Neo Natal on a ventilator.
Nursing levels were 100% 7 days a week, consultants dropped right off at the weekend.
The nurses told me they have massive problems tracking down a consultant at weekends.
Yes you get some cover but it's not the same level.
So are you sitting there and telling me it is a lie that staffing levels are reduced at weekends?

calm down both of you...
he was clearly saying that "the health service has the weekends off" as a catch all phrase is a lie... as he himself works weekends...
you are saying that your experience is different, having not had access to consultants at weekends...
he's probably a little bullish, because it's his job and he's passionate about it.
you are being reactionary because the story is about 'your boy' and people lose rationality when talking about their kids.
