What are the Costs and Benefits of Providing Comprehensive Seven‐day Services for Emergency Hospital Admissions? Meacock, Rachel. Doran, Tim. Sutton, Matt. Health Economics.
"There is as yet no clear evidence that 7-day services will reduce
weekend deaths or can be achieved without increasing weekday deaths. The
planned cost of implementing 7-day services greatly exceeds the maximum
amount that the National Health Service should spend on eradicating the
weekend effect based on current evidence. Policy makers and service
providers should focus on identifying specific service extensions for
which cost-effectiveness can be demonstrated."
