Why Fight for Grantham & District Hospital A&E?Lives will be put at risk. Despite issues with the East Midlands Ambulance Service and the nearest alternative hospitals with A&E departments struggling to cope, the CCG propose to make critically ill patients travel from Grantham for 45 minutes or more to get help elsewhere. At least 700 patients a year will be affected according to the CCG.
