NSW Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald, wished Ms Kathy Smith the best as she prepared to undergo more medical treatment.
Ms Smith tendered her resignation letter to the Office of the Speaker of the NSW Parliament on Tuesday, February 14.
Mr MacDonald acknowledged the work Ms Smith had done in representing the electorate of Gosford in the NSW Parliament.
“Public life can be very demanding,” Mr MacDonald said.
