Jillian Skinner retires as NSW Health Minister
Skinner's retirement follows a year of damaging health scandals and a decades-long love affair with health and medical research.
There has been speculation that Mrs Skinner was delaying her resignation in a fit of pique after she was removed from her favoured portfolio she held for six years.
The resignation allows Ms Hancock to consult with the NSW electoral Commission about the date for a byelection in Mrs Skinner's seat of North Shore, ex-Premier Mike Baird's former seat of Manly and the seat of Gosford, formerly held by retiring Labor MP Kathy Smith.
