A police officer was shoved to the ground after a foot pursuit
Lincolnshire hospitals bosses urged struggling patients to get in touch after a councillor’s “heartbreaking” case where a cancer patient refused life-prolonging treatment due to a lack of service access.
She said the patient, who lived near Skegness, was on long-term palliative care after being diagnosed with cancer and had been offered treatment to help him live a longer life despite being unable to recover. “Not everybody sits on that red line where they get free transport, and people are making these decisions as to where to spend his money.”
“That’s a really shocking position for somebody to say ‘I can’t afford it, if I spend that money on this, I can’t switch the heating on,'” she added.Michelle Harries, Chief Operating Officer at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, said staff were “doing an awful lot of work” to understand patient needs, including a Patient Engagement Group.
