About:
Story Grantham and District Hospital, is an NHS hospital located in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England.HistoryIt opened in 1874 as Grantham and Kesteven Hospital. It is one of four main hospitals in Lincolnshire, being the third largest, and covers the Kesteven area of the county, as well as east Leicestershire and Rutland. It is situated on the A607 and can be seen from the East Coast Main Line. Previous to 2000, it was run by Grantham and District Hospitals NHS Trust from 1996. It is now run by the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which initially had its headquarters at Grantham and District Hospital until December 2006. The local health services used to be covered by the Mid Kesteven PCT, but since October 2006 were transferred to Lincolnshire PCT until that was abolished in 2013.The hospital achieved notoriety in the early 1990s when nurse Beverley Allitt was convicted of killing four young patients and harming nine others with injections. She was sentenced to life imprisonment.FacilitiesIt had 24-hour accident and emergency facilities until July 2016 when the trust decided to close it temporarily from 6.30 pm to 9 am as they did not have enough doctors. Attendance at the A&E fell from 80 a day to 60, and admissions to the hospital fell from 14 a day to 12. A march in protest at the closure attracted 6,000 people on 29th October 2016, complaining that it was 35 miles to the nearest A&E.
