Guernsey politician Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq is currently recovering from a minor heart attack.

On social media, Deputy Le Tocq says he was admitted to the Princess Elizabeth Hospital with mild chest pains over the weekend. He was then sent to Southampton for further tests, where they confirmed he had suffered a minor heart attack.

Doctors have advised him to rest for a few weeks while more tests are carried out.

In a statement, Chief Minister Deputy Peter Ferbrache confirmed Deputy Le Tocq would be taking "a temporary leave from his political duties for health reasons".
