Rudd Stewart offer to pay the costs of diagnosing autism to the child who spent three years in the waiting list.
After reading the singer enters the four -year -old IAIN GREGORI case, which is not verbal, and is scheduled to start the school this summer.
His father, Michael, told the Daily Record, who was highlighting the lack of medical dates for children with conditions such as autism and hyperactivity disorder in attention, that he was “lost in the system.”
The case, the leader of the Scottish action, Anas Sawar, raised the first minister’s questions on Thursday.
“After three years, IAIN is still not verbal and is still awaiting diagnosis,” Saarwar told MSPS.
He revealed that Ian’s father was a member of SNP and made a campaign to be in the government: “He told me that they must now suspend their heads in a shame, because they allowed Scotland under.”
“When he talks about his son, he said:” Everyone says that Ian needs this diagnosis. He has autism, everyone is sure of that, but at the same time he needs an official diagnosis to obtain the resources he needs. “
“Rod Stewart heard this tragic story and entered to pay the costs of diagnosis of iain. Others will not be lucky – why, on [first minister] John Sweeney Watch, does young people rely on the rock star association for the treatment they need? “
To respond, Sweeini said the official diagnosis is not required to reach support.
“It is very important to explain this point to Parliament today,” he said. “Due to the presence of other paths available, unlike the diagnosis of hyperactivity disorder, lack of attention or nervous diversity, which enables young people to attract support that will help them face the challenges they face.”
Sweeney said he wanted to reassure parents there “available support to meet the needs of young individuals.”
He added: “The government takes a set of interventions as we expand mental health support or support to develop community interventions and we are working to ensure that young people get this support as soon as possible.”
Stewart told the Daily Record newspaper that his team would find a special specialist in London or Scotland to provide a diagnosis and will cover costs.
He said: “I have been very successful in my career and I have yet to have been in good health. I also have seven children who are in good health, so I can’t imagine what I should have for my boy.”
Michael Gregory said he was a fan of Stewart for life: “I grew up on Rudd’s music. My adopted mother was playing his music all the time while she was stuck with me. It is unbelievable that he wanted to help us,” Michael Gregory said.
