In October, 15,139 people attended A&E at hospitals under United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust control.

However, just 9,723 (642%) were seen within the allotted four hours. The national target is set at 95%.

Simon Evans, director of operations at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Our A&E performance is not where we want it to be and we would like to apologise for this.

"Over recent months we have seen a significant increase in the number of very poorly patients attending at our A&Es, as well as cases of the winter vomiting bug norovirus.

"This has coincided with a reduction in the number of patients being discharged from our hospitals, which has unfortunately resulted in long delays for some of our patients in A&E."

Earlier, Unite announced that its members had voted in favour of industrial action by more than four to one in protest at a 1.5% pay offer.

Responding to the news, a spokesman for Bakkavor said: "We have been in ongoing, extensive dialogue with employees and the Unite union regarding the 2019 pay proposal at Spalding.

"We believe the pay proposal we have put forward delivers a competitive, above-inflation pay increase for all colleagues.

"Under 30% of all colleagues at the site voted in favour of strike action and, as such, we are disappointed our proposal has been rejected and a ballot for strike action has been passed."

The firm added that it's pay offer represented a "highly competitive" 3% total package, with a 1.5% pay increase and 1.5% lump sum.
