Monday, June 11, 2007 Sir John's medical team may be gearing to present
a formal report on his recuperation in the near future. Acting Prime Minister
Honourable Stephenson King, by way of an update, said Saint Lucia's Prime
Minister Honourable Sir John Compton is progressing to a state of improved
health. Mr. King who has been privy to frequent meetings with Sir John said the
island's leader is in good spirits.
His condition is stable. I must admit that having had the opportunity this week
to meet with him and to speak with him, there are tremendous improvements in his
speech, and his whole coordination and so I can conclude that from my own
observation, from a lay man's standpoint, that there are significant
improvements to his whole rehabilitation process it looks very, very promising.'
Minister King said the public has been very patient and should continue to be
supportive at this time. One of the things he did indicate there while I was
in his presence was to say that we all are mortal and therefore it is expected
that we all will fall ill one day or sometimes in our lives.
He has asked for him to be given sometime to rest and recover and for the nation
to be with him through this difficult period.
It was in May this year that Prime Minister Sir. John Compton fell ill and has
not been able to resume official duties of the State.
