Government officials in St. Lucia say there has been no
improvement in the medical condition of ailing Prime Minister Sir John Compton
as they started putting measures in place to facilitate his final exit from
office.
Acting Prime Minister Stephenson King says Sir John, who was flown to Martinique last Saturday after his health condition worsened, remained on life support in the intensive care unit.
There is no improvement in his status.
The latest report out of Martinique is that 82-year-old Sir John is being administered on life support and there is absolutely no improvement to his situation.
The acting Prime Minister says the government had established a planning committee, under the chairmanship of a former Prime Minister Dr. Michael Pilgrim, to review all mechanisms and protocols necessary in the inevitable event of the death of Sir John.
Sir John suffered a series of strokes in May which forced him to hand over day-to-day running of the government to King.
Sir John, who first entered elective politics in 1954, came out of retirement to successfully lead his party into the last general election in December 2006.
