MP Sarah Newton will be in a wheelchair for diamond jubilee celebrations

MP Sarah will be in a wheelchair for diamond jubilee celebrations

We were sorry to hear that Falmouth and Truro's MP is recovering from a broken hip and is going to need a wheelchair for a while.

Sarah Newton, 50, fell while crossing a road between Portcullis House and the Palace of Westminster last Tuesday and underwent major surgery. She was released from St Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital this week.

"The doctors have given me strict instructions to keep off my feet for six weeks so you won't see me around as much as usual," she said, adding: "I've received excellent treatment from the NHS.

"The NHS advises that people walk with care, however much of a rush they're in. I've learnt how important it is to heed this advice, and hope that people can learn from my mistake."

She said she hoped to attend some local events for the Queen's diamond jubilee, albeit in a wheelchair.

We wish her all the best.
