Superintendent of Prisons Lieutenant Colonel John Nurse has expressed gratitude for the outpouring of best wishes.
However, he has assured Barbadians that there is no need for alarm regarding his sudden illness, which resulted in him being admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Nurse, who is still hospitalised, told Nation News today that while he wants to keep the nature of his illness private, it was not as serious as some reports had suggested. In fact, Nurse said that with a little rest, he plans to be back at work at Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds very soon.
“I would like to thank persons for their many best wishes and concerns and I hope to be back out very soon. There is absolutely no need for worry at all. I don’t believe this is something that would have me off duty for a long period of time.
“In fact, I think it is a case that I probably need some rest for a few days and hopefully I will be back out and rearing to go again,” said Nurse.
He appeared to be in good spirits, and even joked about some of the reports being circulated about his condition. (CLM)
