Plans to improve care for patients in hospitals in England at weekends have been welcomed by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
NHS medical director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh is expected to announce an increase in the number of senior doctors working weekends.
It comes after a year-long inquiry into NHS care following concerns over higher death rates on Saturdays and Sundays.
Labour said the government must set out clearly how the plan would be paid for.
Sir Bruce is expected to outline the plans on Sunday.

Where are they going to get all the extra staff from? We don't have enough as things stand at the moment 🙄
