New figures show Lincolnshire hospitals are struggling to meet NHS targets for waiting times .

They're supposed to see 92% of patients within 18 weeks - but the trust in charge is only seeing 55%.

Health bosses say they, and trusts across the country, continue to be impacted by Covid-19, and that they're doing everything they can to be able to see patients as soon as possible.

The figure at the Trust which runs Grimsby and Scunthorpe hospitals is 69% of patients within 18 weeks.
