Sir Paul Holmes remains at his Hawkes Bay home after he was
discharged from hospital yesterday.
His wife Lady Deborah and his brother Ken Holmes said in a
statement last night that members of the veteran
broadcaster's family remained by Sir Paul's side.
They continued their request for privacy so they could "focus
their energy" on supporting him.
Sir Paul's friend, Dallas Gurney from the Radio Network, said
this morning no other updates about his condition would be
released unless there were any changes.
This week the family said Sir Paul was receiving medical
treatment from the team at the hospital and "other supporting
organisations".
He was taken to hospital less than a week after being
knighted in a ceremony at his home by Governor-General Sir
Jerry Mateparae.
The investiture, on Wednesday last week, was brought forward
at his family's request because of Sir Paul's failing health.
Sir Paul had been treated for prostate cancer earlier in his
career but it returned early last year, putting his work on
hold. Last June he also underwent open-heart surgery.
Sir Paul briefly returned to the country's screens and
airwaves, but in December announced he was retiring from
broadcasting.
