Personally I would prefer increased numbers of GPs working during the week when we do know that demand is massively out stripping the supply, hence why surgeries appointments are all fully booked within 5-10 minutes of opening!
Weekend appointments in surgeries may be available but surgeries are reluctant to publicise this for fear that there will be a huge take-up on this. If you are employed full time, evenings or weekends are the best times for you to go to the surgery.
