Op­po­si­tion PNM MP Camille Robin­son-Reg­is has stat­ed that a re­cent med­ical pro­ce­dure she un­der­went was not se­ri­ous, and she ex­pects to re­sume full du­ties in Jan­u­ary.

Robin­son-Reg­is, MP for Trinci­ty-Mal­oney, is­sued a state­ment to this ef­fect yes­ter­day. She has been on leave from Par­lia­ment since short­ly af­ter the term be­gan.

“I wish to sin­cere­ly thank the many con­stituents, col­leagues, and well-wish­ers who have reached out over the past few months to en­quire about my well-be­ing. Your mes­sages of sup­port, prayers, and con­cern have been deeply ap­pre­ci­at­ed,” Robin­son-Reg­is said.

She added, “I re­cent­ly un­der­went a planned med­ical pro­ce­dure that re­quired a pe­ri­od of re­cu­per­a­tion. I wish to as­sure the pub­lic that the pro­ce­dure was not se­ri­ous, and I am re­cov­er­ing well.”

Dur­ing her leave, Robin­son-Reg­is said she re­mained in con­stant com­mu­ni­ca­tion with key stake­hold­ers across her con­stituen­cy, as well as with the team at the Trinci­ty-Mal­oney Con­stituen­cy Of­fice.

“Al­though I have been tem­porar­i­ly away, all con­stituen­cy ser­vices have con­tin­ued un­in­ter­rupt­ed. The of­fice has been ful­ly op­er­a­tional and has re­mained com­mit­ted to serv­ing the peo­ple of Trinci­ty-Mal­oney, ad­dress­ing needs and en­sur­ing that on­go­ing mat­ters re­ceive the nec­es­sary at­ten­tion.”

“I ex­pect to re­sume my full du­ties in Jan­u­ary and look for­ward to re-en­gag­ing with con­stituents in per­son. Once again, I ex­tend my heart­felt thanks for the out­pour­ing of kind­ness and sup­port. It has been both up­lift­ing and en­cour­ag­ing dur­ing my re­cov­ery,” she added.

In Au­gust, Robin­son-Reg­is, who had been off the po­lit­i­cal front­lines since June, dis­closed that she had un­der­gone ma­jor surgery at that time, which was fol­lowed by com­pli­ca­tions. She said her re­cov­ery and heal­ing process were on­go­ing.
