How these four NHS services are currently organised and how they could look in the future
Each of the tables below outline how the services which are part of this public consultation are currently organised (pre COVID-19 temporary changes). They also outline how services have temporarily been changed in response to COVID-19, changes which were necessary for multiple reasons during the pandemic, such as staff isolating, and the need to separate patients with COVID-19 from other patients. And finally, they outline how services would be organised in the future if our change proposals are agreed and implemented.
It can be seen in some areas there are similarities between the temporary COVID-19 changes and the preferred proposals for change. These temporary changes have therefore provided the Lincolnshire health system with additional insights into the proposed change.
