Last year 10% of scheduled operations by the NHS, were actually undertaken by 'independent' providers (read private health care).
As more & more of us despair at delays to care & take out (or have employers take out) private health insurance (or find ways to pay for medical attention), so the Tories normalisation of a two-tier health care system become ever more real.
The Tory project of NHS as basic safety net for the poor becomes ever nearer.
