The daugh­ter of for­mer pres­i­dent of T&T Arthur NR Robin­son, Ann Mar­garet as she left the St Clair Med­ical Cen­tre, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day told the T&T Guardian: "He's do­ing good but won't be dis­charged to­day." When pressed for fur­ther com­ment, how­ev­er, she said she was late for a meet­ing and so could not speak to the me­dia.

But Robin­son's sec­re­tary, Claire Raphael, said yes­ter­day he may be out of St Clair Med­ical Hos­pi­tal by the week­end. Raphael said Robin­son was sta­ble and doc­tors were con­duct­ing tests. It was ex­pect­ed that he may have been re­leased yes­ter­day morn­ing. She did not say what the par­tic­u­lar med­ical con­di­tion was that re­quired his hos­pi­tal­i­sa­tion. The for­mer PM how­ev­er has had sev­er­al vis­i­tors since be­ing hos­pi­talised.

They in­clud­ed for­mer staff and col­leagues. Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Jack Warn­er al­so vis­it­ed on Tues­day. The coun­try's third pres­i­dent was hos­pi­talised in Feb­ru­ary 2010 and has suf­fered from high blood pres­sure and glau­co­ma. PM Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, who was in Ja­maica, ex­pressed her con­cern af­ter hear­ing of his hos­pi­tal­i­sa­tion and Warn­er pledged Gov­ern­ment would do all that was nec­es­sary to help in his re­cov­ery.
