OK, so where's this utter garbage(and that's putting very politely) about working extra hours and no extra money coming from?

Maximum average 48 hour working week (reduced from 56) with doctors who opt out of the WTR capped at maximum average of 56 working hours per week.
Maximum 72 hours’ work in any seven day period (reduced from 91).Maximum shift length of 13 hours (reduced from 14 hours).

The Prime Minister has announced details of a new, voluntary contract for GPs to deliver 7-day care for all patients by 2020. He has also unveiled proposals to deliver 7-day hospital services across half the country by 2018. These are the next steps in making England the first country in the world to provide a truly 7-day health service, underpinned by a strong economy and £10 billion of investment in the NHS.

So less hours and £10billion. Does that sound like longer hours and no money?
