Lincoln County Hospital. EMN-200917-170611001
Although COVID cases in Lincolnshire hospitals have now reduced they still have a lot of work to do to restore services to the same level they were before the pandemic.
As a result United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) and NHS Lincolnshire Clinical Commissiong Group are working closely together to restore hospital services across the county as quickly as possible, and to address waiting times experienced by patients waiting for time-critical surgery.
A particular focus is on elective care (planned specialist medical care or surgery as opposed to emergency treatment), since many services were stood down last year to release theatre staff to support the increased demand on local intensive care units due to COVID-19.
Around 65,000 Lincolnshire people waiting for hospital treatment
