The future looks "gloomy" for Grantham Hospital according to members of a group put together suggest a range of options for services - reports the Grantham Journal.
Grantham's Clinical Reference Group - which comprises medical staff from the hospital, managers, a GP and a patient representative - is working to develop medically safe options for the town's services.
But documents given to the Journal in November showed divisions among consultants over what services are safe and how to approach the future of the hospital.
Former hospital medical director Jim Campbell told the meeting he regretted supporting the removal of Level 3 critical care from Grantham.
A&E consultant George Oduro said he believed the position of Grantham Hospital was irretrievable and that the Trust was moving towards one main hospital with a series of smaller supporting hospitals.
He also said managers were trying to shift responsibility for the decision to downgrade Grantham Hospital on to clinicians.
