Campaigners said they have been vindicated after a High Court judge ruled that United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust did not consult properly when it downgraded Grantham Hospital into a COVID-free site.
Following a review in March, Mr Justice Linden ruled that the trust breached its legal duty to consult people on the changes, and said the decision taken in June 2020, which saw a number of services transferred out of the hospital and the creation of an Urgent Treatment Centre, had been unlawful.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust has apologised following the result and said it will not appeal the decision.
