Campaigners claim people will die if planned changes to Grantham's hospital go ahead.

Yesterday the trust which runs Lincolnshire's hospitals outlined plans for the future of healthcare in the county.

It included downgrading Grantham's A&E by turning it into an Urgent Treatment Centre.

Plans also revealed that Boston's children ward will continue as an emergency assessment ward, with those needing to be admitted onto a ward being taken to another larger hospital.

Health bosses have said that "no body will die as a result of these changes".

They say that "extensive evidence" shows that if you've got a serious critical problem you should be taken to be treated by those with expertise - which aren't always at smaller hospitals.

Campaigners aren't convinced.
