Lincolnshire residents invited to have their say in latest round of NHS public consultation events
Health leaders are encouraging people across Lincolnshire to get involved and share their views on proposals for change to four NHS services in the county.
People joining the events will have the opportunity to ask questions as they hear from clinicians who will explain the proposals and what they mean for the future of these services.

This consultation will end on December 23 and they are inviting as many people as possible to get involved and have their say.
Views are being sought on proposed changes to orthopaedic surgery; urgent and emergency care at Grantham and District Hospital; acute medical beds at Grantham and District Hospital and stroke services.
Due to the recent emergence of the Omicron COVID variant, facemasks will be mandatory for attendees at face-to-face events with the exception of those who are exempt for medical reasons. Facemasks and hand gel will be available at each event.

This is to prevent unnecessary queuing outside the venue and to enable organisers to ensure sufficient social distancing based on the venue capacity. You are asked to help to keep everyone safe. Unfortunately, they will not be able to admit anyone on the day who has not registered.
