Pat Geenty, Wiltshire’s chief constable, visited Mr Macpherson’s family at the hospital yesterday (Thursday).
“The Commissioner has been sitting up in bed and talking to his family,” he told Marlborough News Online. “His condition is now described as ‘stable and improving’.
“I passed on to the family the best wishes of all at Wiltshire Police for a speedy recovery. They asked me to thank the many well-wishers who have sent messages.”
