Trinci­ty/Mal­oney Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment Camille Robin­son-Reg­is has re­turned to the Par­lia­ment for the first time since the April 28 Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

Yes­ter­day was the MP’s first of­fi­cial ap­pear­ance in Par­lia­ment since she un­der­went a med­ical pro­ce­dure last year.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia about the state of her health out­side Par­lia­ment yes­ter­day, Robin­son-Reg­is said, “Much bet­ter. I have im­proved and I am much bet­ter, back out to work.”

Al­though she said her health has im­proved, the MP did not par­tic­i­pate in the par­lia­men­tary de­bate.

When asked why, Robin­son-Reg­is ex­plained that she did not think she was quite ready yet, as it was on­ly her first day.

Last No­vem­ber, Robin­son-Reg­is re­vealed she had been re­cov­er­ing from a planned med­ical pro­ce­dure from ear­li­er in the year.

At the time, she said the pro­ce­dure was not se­ri­ous.

Dur­ing her ab­sence, she main­tained that she con­tin­ued reg­u­lar com­mu­ni­ca­tion with key stake­hold­ers across the con­stituen­cy and with her staff at her con­stituen­cy of­fice.
