Yulia Skripal's condition improving, but too early to speak about her leaving hospital - director of Salisbury hospital

MOSCOW. April 6 (Interfax) - The condition of Yulia Skripal, the daughter of former Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) official Sergei Skripal, is improving day by day, but it is too early to speak about her leaving the hospital, Christine Blanshard, medical director of the Salisbury District Hospital, said.

"As Yulia herself says, her strength is growing daily and she can look forward to the day when she is well enough to leave the hospital," Blanshard was quoted as saying in a statement released by the British National Health Service.

"Any speculation on when that date will be is just that - speculation," she said.
