GPs offered 'new deal' if they agree to seven-day week

The government is promising a "new deal" for GPs in England - if they sign up to seven-day opening.

In a speech on Friday, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will promise extra investment and help for under-pressure services.

The package includes plans to recruit 5,000 new GPs and another 5,000 support staff, including practice nurses.
