Sherwood MP discharged from hospital

The MP for Sherwood, Mr Paddy Tipping, was today discharged from hospital following a heart attack.

Mr Tipping was admitted to the Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, on Saturday morning after suffering a mild heart attack.

He was transferred to Nottingham City Hospital earlier this week before being discharged today.

He is now recovering at home.

Mr Tipping said in a statement: "I want to thank all the wonderful staff both at the QMC and City Hospitals for making my stay comfortable and for the excellent care I received."

A spokesman at his constituency office said he was responding well to treatment and was under strict instructions to rest.

She said he hoped to be back at work as soon as he can.

Mr Tipping’s office will be open for business as usual and constituents who need help should continue to contact the office.
