NT chief minister discharged from hospital

Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner has been discharged from hospital following a "minor heart scare" that saw him admitted to a Darwin hospital on Saturday.

Doctors advised that there were no ongoing issues but on their advice he will take time off until he has been cleared to return to work, a spokeswoman for Mr Gunner said this week.

Treasurer Nicole Manison is acting as chief minister until his return to work.

The NT election will be held on August 22.
