United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) is today announcing that all routine elective surgery is being postponed from tomorrow (Tuesday 24 March 2020).

This move is being made as part of our response to the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, enabling hospitals to free up staff to care for patients in other areas.

From tomorrow, all day case and elective routine surgery will be cancelled at Lincoln County Hospital, Pilgrim Hospital, County Hospital, Louth, Boston and Grantham and District Hospital.

This does not include cancer surgery and other clinically urgent cases.

All affected patients will be contacted directly to inform them of the cancellation.
