Rod Stewart pays for scans at his local hospital

Sir Rod Stewart has reduced a hospital’s waiting list by 10 per cent after paying for a mobile scanning unit for a day.
The singer-songwriter last month called a live phone-in segment on Sky News and offered to pay for people to have hospital scans, having just returned from having a private scan himself.
He committed to paying for other patients’ scans to speed up their diagnosis and treatment.
The 78-year-old arrived at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, in a white Rolls-Royce, where he had paid for the cost of a mobile scanning unit.
He said he was “here not to talk about politics, please, because otherwise it overshadows what we’re trying to do”.
If the day was a “big success” he committed to paying for further units in Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, he said, adding that he hoped “other people follow me”.
