SNP MSP James Dornan has announced he will be taking time off following a four-night stay in hospital.
The Glasgow Cathcart MSP said he will be stepping back from politics for an unspecified period to "recuperate" his physical and mental health in the wake of his health scare.
In a statement released on Tuesday morning, the 68-year-old said: "Just recently I spent four nights in hospital and it gave me the opportunity to reflect on my health in a way I've not felt the need to for a long time.
