The document discusses implementing 7-day health services in the UK NHS to improve patient outcomes. It notes that mortality rates are currently 10% higher for patients admitted on weekends compared to weekdays. The NHS aims to establish minimum clinical standards for 7-day care and move routine services to be available all week. A self-assessment tool and support from an NHS team will help healthcare communities benchmark current performance and progress toward meeting all clinical standards.
