Keir Starmer on Rod Stewart offering to pay for medical scans

The Labour leader says it is “absolutely fundamental” that health care remans free at the point of need.

Sir Keir Starmer was visiting Harlow Hospital in Essex, a day after nearby resident Sir Rod Stewart offered to pay for medical scans to help people get treatment more quickly.

The musician also gave his backing to Labour after being a previous Conservative supporter.
