Hospitals in Lincolnshire are over budget, according to a report from the chief executive of the county's main health trust.
It comes less than a week after the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust was given one star out of a possible three for its performance.
Roger Paffard from the trust said there is an uncomfortable level of pressure on beds and waiting lists.
In May, the trust was already �650,000 over budget.
A public meeting is being held next month, when people can ask questions of the chairman and chief executive.
