BBC Radio LincolnshireThe county council's health watchdog has voted to refer the continued overnight closures of Grantham Hospital's A&E to the secretary of state, Jeremy Hunt.
As Lincolnshire's hospital trust put forward their case to the health scrutiny committee in Lincoln, protestors gathered outside.
