It’s a struggle

SIR ROD STEWART said he can’t get a response to his request to provide free MRI scans.

While he says he is “well on their side” about the doctors and nurses strikes, he said he can’t get a response about his plans to give away MRI scans.

In February he paid for some members of the public to have scans in a mobile unit at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex.

It was in a Sky News phone in that he pledged to help when talking about the state of the NHS. He had just returned from a scan himself.

“I said when I did Sky TV that I wanted to try and do them all over the country.” He said, “Iam not going to show up and be photographed, I just wanted to do it.”

But he says he struggling to get his plans off the ground.

“It’s like banging your head against a brick wall.”

47 over.

In a tweet on April 21, he tried to reassure worried listeners that he was okay, according to a news source.

The statement read “The infection I have is requiring more treatment than initially thought and it means I am having to reschedule the Sounds of the 60s Tour for the moment in order to recover fully.

“All tickets booked will be automatically transferred to the new dates and you will be notified of this change by your ticket provider. I am sorry for the disruption, and I really am looking forward to getting back on the road with the band.

“Finally, to all the nurses, Drs and support staff at Barnet General hospital who I spent a few days with over the last week, thank you for looking after me. You are brilliant!”
