Calls to create a 24/7 "Tesco NHS" are ridiculous, according to the leader of the British Medical Association (BMA).

Dr Mark Porter said it was simply not possible when the health service could "barely afford its current model".

Dr Porter spoke out at a BMA conference amid calls to create the same standard of care in hospitals at weekends and nights as during normal hours.

Delegates at the same meeting also passed a vote of no confidence in Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
