Woman arrested for suspected drink driving after A46 Hykeham roundabout crash

The number of seriously-ill COVID patients needing hospital treatment have tripled in the last month in Lincolnshire.John Turner, the Chief Executive of the NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, said health services were “significantly stretched” due to the latest coronavirus wave.

In a meeting addressing East Lindsey District Council’s Overview Committee, he outlined some of the other problems that hospitals were facing – along with some positive news.“We had just under 90 COVID patients in hospital as of Monday morning. That is down from well over 100 last week, however if you look to last month, we were ticking over at 20 or 30,” he told the committee.“There is a real concern over capacity, particularly about how many staff are off with COVID.

“The CQC and NHS England took ULHT out of special measures for quality earlier this year, which is certainly a boost.“There is still a way to go, and we’ll keep building on the work. A CQC improvement action plan is being used to guide changes.”Amid a shake-up of services in other parts of the county, he also assured councillors that nothing was planned for Louth hospital, saying it was a “vital and important asset” for Lincolnshire.
