Government adviser Sir Brian Jarman says action must be taken over higher than expected mortality rates at Lincolnshire hospitals.
Professor Jarman said: "We can't say if the deaths were avoidable, what we can say is the deaths in United Lincolnshire exceeds the number that you would have had had the national death rates applied.
"It could be a variety of things, you can't go down to individual patients, it is a statistical measure and hasn't changed all that much.
