A campaign has been launched to give people the chance to share their experience of Lincolnshire?s hospitals with those carrying out a review into patient death rates.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, which runs hospitals including Boston?s Pilgrim, is one of 14 across the country to be reviewed by a team led by NHS England medical director Sir Bruce Keogh.
The review follows the mid-Staffordshire hospitals scandal in which hundreds of patients died due to poor standards of care.
Although there are no exact figures of how many patients may have died needlessly in Lincolnshire?s hospital, recently released figures do show there have been a total of 12 ?never events? at the trust in the past four years (see below).
