successive governments have screwed the NHS and it began with Tony Blair
This is so comically untrue it deserves a Mumsnet post of the day award. I presume you were born too recently to have seen the lines of people lying (and dying) on trolleys in hospital corridors under John Major's regime, a result of the ideologically driven National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, one of Margaret Thatcher's last acts as prime minister. The introduction of the "internal market" by the 1990 act increased administration costs from 5% of NHS total expenditure to 14%, wasting billions of pounds and forcing drastic cuts to patient care.
The trouble with Blair was that he did half a job of fixing it: he built new, smaller hospitals, to provide a better standard of in-patient care but didn't put in place the necessary accompanying increase in community-based care provision (as nobody in the health service ever believed he would), so the new hospitals were entirely overwhelmed by demand. Nor did he get rid of the internal market.
The other crime of that regime was Gordon Brown's insistence on using the private finance initiative (PFI) to fund the buiding of new hospitals, schools, prisons, etc., to make it look like the government wasn't borrowing to build them, thereby saddling us with decades of commitment to service charges for facilities long beyond the time at which they ceased to be useable.
When Andrew Lansley then came along with his back-of-a-fag-packet plan in 2012 to completely dismantle the NHS and let the fragments fight with each other over what services they would provide, it ensured that the financial inefficiencies would be as great as could possibly be engineered. If someone had deliberately set out to ensure the NHS could not function effectively, they couldn't have done a better job.
