Proposal to close the NHS premises in Wainfleet

NHS leaders have announced a proposal to permanently close the NHS premises in Wainfleet.

The premises located on William Way has been temporarily closed since routine GP services provided by Hawthorn Medical Practice were paused in 2020.

Hawthorn Medical Practice currently provide all GP services from their main site in Skegness and branch site in Burgh-le-Marsh.

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) are seeking the views of Hawthorn Medical Practice patients (or anyone previously registered) on their experience of accessing GP services since services in Wainfleet were paused in 2020.

Sarah-Jane Mills, Director for Primary Care and Community and Social Value at the ICB said: “The ICB value the opinions of the Wainfleet community. Their feedback is crucial in helping us make an informed decision and to shape the ongoing development of GP services that best serves the needs of the local community.”

This consultation is now closed for review.
