That seems backwards, unless you also need to be preforming more surgeries and thus need more people. Instead reduce the number of operating theaters while keeping a similar number of people. Net result same amount of operations, but lower capital expenditure.

Of course you now need to pay people more to be working in the weekends, but that’s a different question.

Yes, the UK needs more surgery capacity.

In that case it needs more workers independent of doing weekend surgery.
