It is great news that the Department of Health and Social Care has announced significant investment in Lincolnshire hospitals which my constituents in Sleaford and North Hykeham rely on.
I understand that this will be used to expand and improve areas of ULHT's hospitals, as well as upgrading digital capability for the benefit of patients and staff. This includes:
£5 million for two new laminar flow theatres at Grantham hospital
£3.3m to refurbish and expand the critical surgical wards at Boston and Grantham hospitals
£1.1 million towards the replacement of the digital cardiology system
£600,000 for a digital solution to support the MSK pathway
£2.5m for an artificial intelligence solution to support triage and management of the patient waiting list
