PM Kamla keeping in touch with Hazel Manning; asks nation to pray for former PM

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar will not visit Patrick Manning at the San Fernando General Hospital because he respects the instructions given by doctors attending to San Fernando East MP Patrick Manning, where Manning is recovering from a stroke. Visits are restricted to Manning's immediate family.

Persad-Bissessar said she will keep in contact with Manning's wife, Hazel. "I spoke with Mrs Manning and she has been advised by his doctors that visitors are restricted to immediate family. He needs to rest to ensure a speedy recovery," she said.

Persad-Bissessar called on the nation to continue praying for Manning's recovery and promised her Government would assist in any way possible. "I have instructed my Health Minister to visit Mr Manning and assist in whatever way possible. But we will be guided by his family," she told reporters.

A bulletin issued by Manning's San Fernando East Constituency office at 7.18 p.m. yesterday stated that Manning's condition had improved. "Mr Manning's medical team has reported that he is doing well, recuperating nicely, receiving physiotherapy and is in a stable condition. Visitation is still restricted to his immediate family and security has been heightened.

"Mr Manning and his family would like to thank everyone for their words of encouragement, thoughts and prayers. We believe in a true and living God who is never changing and by his stripes we are healed. We claim immaculate healing and divine protection over the Honourable Patrick Manning at this time," the release added.
