It was on Thursday that the Social Cohesion Minister was admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit for observation, after complaining of feeling unwell.
It was reported that Norton had suffered “a heart attack”. The Minister went to the Hospital with a headache, high blood pressure and slightly slurred speech. Norton, a noted ophthalmologist, attracted much controversy during his tenure as Public Health Minister. He was subsequently transferred to the Social Cohesion Ministry, which functions within the Ministry of the Presidency.
