Dr Dave Baker, GP and chairman of South West Lincolnshire CCG explains: “This decision has been made in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and we feel it is the responsible thing to do.

"The meeting will not be open to the public, and governing body members will conference call in, rather than meet in person. We will make the papers for the meeting available online via our website, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

Led by local GPs and other health professionals, NHS South West Lincolnshire CCG is responsible for the planning and purchasing of health services in Grantham, Sleaford, surrounding villages and South West Lincolnshire.

These services include planned and emergency hospital care, rehabilitation, most community services and mental health and learning disability services.
