    Health bosses have confirmed the Lincoln Walk-In Centre on Monks Road is to close.

    Sarah-Jane Mills, chief operating officer at NHS Lincolnshire West Clinical Commissioning Group, said in a statement: “Our responsibility as commissioners is to get the best healthcare outcomes for the most patients we can with the resources we have available.

    “We completely understand people’s concerns but we believe this is the right thing to do as we seek to best serve our entire population."
