Rod Stewart calls Sky News offering to pay for NHS hospital scans

Singer said the situation in UK was ‘so bad’ and it was time to ‘change the bloody government’

Rod Stewart called a phone-in segment on Sky News to offer to pay for people to have hospital scans, amid the rising number of people on NHS waiting lists.

The 78-year-old rock star, who has previously backed the Conservatives, said he had never seen the situation in the UK “so bad” and called for Labour to be given a chance to run the country, adding: “Change the bloody government.”
