Blair given the all-clear after heart scare

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair was yesterday admitted to hospital where he underwent treatment for an irregular heartbeat.

The 50-year-old Prime Minister spent almost five hours with doctors after being taken ill at Chequers.

He was taken to the nearby Stoke Mandeville Hospital, although not by ambulance, but was moved to Hammersmith hospital in London as it has a specialist coronary care unit.
