MIRIAM Beard, the shamed former co-ordinator of the Plas Madoc Communities First Project, was rushed by ambulance to hospital ahead of her court appearance on Friday.
An ambulance was called after it had been established she had taken some tablets in the hour leading up to her court appearance.
Her barrister, Russell Davies, told Judge Rhys Rowlands, sitting at Mold Crown Court, that his client was in no condition to come into court.
He added there was a history to the case and there had been an attempted suicide last December.
On Thursday, Beard’s trial came to a sudden halt when she entered guilty pleas to nine of the 12 charges against her.
It means Beard, 55, of Henllan near Denbigh, milked a little more than £51,000 of public money from the charity which was set up to improve conditions for residents on the Plas Madoc Estate, one of the top three most impoverished estates in Wales.
Other charges were allowed to remain on the file and proceedings against her husband James, 46, also of Henllan, which he denied, were dropped.
She was due to appear in court on Friday for a time table under The Proceeds of Crime to be set so financial investigators can see what part of her ill-gotten gains, if any, can be recovered.
Mr Davies said: “There have been threats of suicide in the background which have been taken very seriously, and have been properly dealt with by those instructing me,” he said.
Judge Rowlands said he would bail her pending sentence during the week beginning December 5 at Caernarfon Crown Court.
In the meantime he would order her to live at her home address unless she was in hospital subjected to a curfew.
A confiscation hearing will be fixed in March of next year.
