Avoid Lincoln A&E if you can
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust has declared a critical incident due to significant pressure on its services, particularly at Lincoln A&E.
“Many of these individuals are very unwell and require further treatment, but there remains significant challenges in the number of available beds across our hospitals- a situation that is also reflected nationally across the NHS.” “Individuals affected by this are being contacted directly by our teams. We continue to review our position to ensure there is no unnecessary impact on those who are waiting for treatment.
Ben Holdaway, Director of Operations at EMAS, said: “During the period of the dispute, we will do all we can to minimise the impact on patient safety and will continue to work very closely with trade union colleagues, regional service providers and NHS Employers.“However, we anticipate that on days where there is industrial action that there will still be fewer ambulances available and therefore our responses to our patients will, inevitably, be much slower on the day,” he said.
