Prue Carr’s Return to Duties
Deputy New South Wales Premier Prue Carr plans to resume her role in state parliament on Tuesday, marking a significant step following her recent breast cancer diagnosis.
Carr, who has been absent from her duties while undergoing treatment, shared updates on her health journey earlier this month. Medical professionals have cleared her to return to work, allowing her to rejoin key legislative sessions and cabinet meetings.
Background on the Diagnosis
The diagnosis came as a surprise to many in political circles, prompting Carr to step back temporarily to focus on recovery. Throughout her treatment, she maintained close coordination with Premier Chris Minns and her team to ensure continuity in government operations.
Officials confirm that Carr’s return signals positive progress in her health, though she will continue monitoring her condition under medical guidance. Her resilience has been noted by colleagues, who express strong support for her ongoing recovery.
This development comes amid a busy parliamentary calendar, where Carr’s expertise in areas like health and community services will be vital.
