Lincolnshire's health scrutiny committee has written to NHS England raising concerns about the possible closure of a children's heart unit.
It says it doesn't think NHS England has thought through the implications for sick children in Lincolnshire who use the service at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital (below).
The chairman of the committee, Councillor Christine Talbot, said: "The committee have been following this issue since 2012.
"I am concerned that we will not be able to take a full and active part in the consultation because of the restrictions around local government elections that begin at the end of March."
Tomorrow from 09.00 is your chance to get your hands on general release tickets for Lincoln City's FA Cup replay against Ipswich Town.

The park closed last October after decades as a fixture on the North East Lincolnshire seafront.
The owner Melanie Wood says there is security on the site but the youths are still getting into the park.
