LONDON: One of London's leading hospitals has denied giving preferential treatment to the wife of Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew at the behest of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's office.
Lee's wife Kwa Geok Choo, 82, was rushed to state-run Royal London Hospital on Oct 26 when she suffered a stroke, where according to the former prime minister she was told she'd have to wait hours for a CT scan, a technique which makes it possible to diagnose certain diseases earlier and more accurately.
