EMERGENCY surgery units and maternity wards will face closure under new Tory plans for the NHS, health professionals warned yesterday.

Launching a blueprint for the future of the health service at a Birmingham GPs’ surgery, Prime Minister David Cameron claimed that Britain would “become the first country in the world to deliver a truly seven-day NHS.”

The privileged PM told his audience that he planned faster access to new drugs and treatments — but professional associations warned that it would amount to an attack on staff terms and conditions.
