Mr Lochhead was admitted to Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin last week following a number of days of illness.

A statement, released on behalf of Mr Lochhead’s family today, confirmed that he was transferred to Aberdeen over the weekend to undergo an operation.

It says that he is now in stable condition and making good progress despite some “initial complications”.

The statement adds: “It is hard for us to find the words to express our deep gratitude to the NHS staff involved in Richard’s case.

“He and his family have been blown away by the compassion, dedication and skill of clinicians both in Elgin and Aberdeen.

“We will never be able to thank them enough for all they’ve done - and continue to do - for him.

“Richard and his family have been touched by the many well wishes they’ve received.

“As he focuses on his recovery, we would ask that those wishing to reach out to continue to do so via his constituency office.

“We continue to work on constituency casework on Richard’s behalf while he takes the time to get well.

“Anyone in need of assistance can get in touch as normal by email, phone or visiting the office.”
