WARWICKSHIRE Police and Crime Commissioner Ron Ball will be away from his office for a number of weeks having undergone routine hip replacement surgery.
He said: “Although I will be away from the office while I recover from the surgery and undergo physiotherapy, I am determined to continue with my duties as far as possible. Thanks to modern technology, keeping in touch with the office is easier than ever, so I will be following developments with keen interest.
“As soon as I am back on my two feet I hope to return to work but in the meantime my deputy, Dr Eric Wood, will represent me at meetings and official functions. I couldn't wish for a safer pair of hands to ensure the continued delivery of the Police and Crime Plan in my absence.
“My hip has been troubling me for some time, so I am very much looking forward to being pain-free and devoting all my energies once more to ensuring Warwickshire continues to enjoy a first class police service.”
