Paddy Tipping is expected to be in hospital for a week

Nottingham MP Paddy Tipping is recovering in hospital after suffering a mild heart attack.

The Labour MP for Sherwood is expected to stay at the Queen's Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham for about a week and will then need time off to rest.

Mr Tipping's office remains open and constituents who need help can contact it as normal.

He said: "I am receiving excellent care from all the staff at QMC hospital and I cannot praise them too highly."
