£900,000 is being spent by the trust which runs Scunthorpe General Hospital in an effort to improve health facilities and ease pressure on its A&E department.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Trust (NLaG) is looking to improve its urgent care streaming service, which diverts patients away from accident and emergency.

Under the service, patients are assessed when attending the department and directed to the most suitable care and treatment.

This means those with minor illnesses would be diverted to a GP or nurse in the department.

NLaG has submitted plans to North Lincolnshire Council to build a two-storey building, between the hospital's A&E and X-Ray facility building, for the streaming service.

The trust is looking to add extra space in order to cope with the demand at the emergency department, which it said will "improve the environment" at the hospital.

Trading standards officers in North East Lincolnshire have seized 550 hoverboards which they say are "dangerously unsafe".

He died the following day in hospital.

Thomas Callow, 68, from Clay Bank in South Kyme (near Heckington), downloaded 225 indecent images of children including over a hundred classified as the most serious kind of child abuse images.

In sentencing, Judge John Pini described the offences as "at an epidemic level" and as both "vile and wrong".

Lincoln Crown Court heard that among the images discovered on Callow's laptops were ones of babies and toddlers being abused.

Callows has been jailed for eight months and has been given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

The letter, which has been published on the Butlin's website, apologises for the breach of data.

It also says it was caused by a phishing attack via an unauthorised email.

The company says it is investigating the hack "thoroughly".

No financial details of any customers have been compromised, according to the holiday firm, and it is contacting anyone who may have been affected.
