Inpatient palliative care beds in Boston

NHS Lincolnshire East Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has been exploring options for additional inpatient palliative care in the east of Lincolnshire.

Following a comprehensive analysis of local need, Lincolnshire East CCG invited providers to bid for the provision of six inpatient beds and the chosen provider is Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust in partnership with the Butterfly Hospice Trust.

Andy Rix, general manager, Boston Locality for Lincolnshire East CCG, said: “This means there will be palliative inpatient beds for patients in the east of Lincolnshire, based in the Butterfly Hospice’s new Inpatient Unit in Boston.”
