Sir Rod called a live phone-in segment on Sky News last month and offered to pay for people to have hospital scans
Sir Rod Stewart said he wanted to “prove I’m not all mouth and trousers” as he visited his local NHS hospital where he paid for a day of scans for patients to help cut waiting lists. Arriving in a white Rolls-Royce on a drizzly February day, the 78-year-old star said “hi everyone” as he climbed from the car outside Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex.
“They said, ‘don’t worry, there’s hardly anybody in here today’. There were eight people with hardly anything to do. Then I thought this is a terrible injustice, so here we are.” He added: “There must be enough money in the coffers to pay up for these nurses – only two years ago we were clapping and now… Bless them, they work so hard, salt of the earth.”
“I’ve been supporting them for years, Ukrainians. On stage I have the flag and I wear a blue and yellow suit and do a song and dedicate it to them. The star said: “So this is my first customer! All good pal? You take care of yourself, stay healthy, alright mate.”Mr Ryan said afterwards: “It was a dream come true.”
