"Concerned and disappointed" is how the leader of Lincolnshire County Council has described the news that the minor injuries service at Grantham Hospital is being reviewed.
The hospital's A&E department was closed overnight in August 2016.
In September an out-of-hours minor injuries unit opened - the service runs from 18:30 until 23:30 and costs £130,000 a year.
The South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group say it is not financially viable and have launched a survey, external asking people for their views.
Councillor Martin Hill said there is no mention of where people would go for treatment if the service closes.
Quote MessageGrantham Hospital is not facing the same problems with recruitment as some other NHS services are seeing - it is being sacrificed to make up for the failures within the other acute services in Lincolnshire."

It says it will launch a survey for the public to have their say.

Overall across the rest of the country England's NHS trusts are in the red by a total of £960m - nearly twice the amount they'd planned for.

Last year, organisers decided to close the Christmas Market on the final day after heavy snow was forecast but never materialised.

New devices to help patients with dementia are being rolled out across Lincolnshire hospitals.
RITA, which stands for Reminiscence Interactive Therapy Activities, is a system which uses interactive apps and programmes to aid patients' hospital recovery.
They can use the touch-screen computers to listen to relaxation music, watch BBC archive news footage and look at old photographs to help spark memories and start conversations on the wards.
So far, RITA is being used at Lincoln, Boston and Grantham hospitals and has proved effective in calming distressed or anxious patients.
Jodie Barwick, a dementia practitioner at Boston's Pilgrim Hospital, says it makes patients more comfortable on the ward:
