Not a lot of people know this.

I've not seen any evidence of that and would need a lot more information before forming an opinion but I would imagine it had something to do with whoever was in power at the time and what the medical assets involved were and what they had in mind at the time. The Tories will never privatise the NHS as a whole, they wouldn't dare as it would be political suicide and they know it. Though you could argue elements of the NHS have been in private hands since the early 80s. Though opting out of any EU plan is rather a moot point since we are leaving.
The EU is in favour of privitisation, your reply doesn't really have much bearing on my actual response as it's not in the same context and just really an anti Tory point scoring which as a non Tory I couldn't really care less about. As someone who stated they voted for Brexit your defence of the EU is surprisingly inconsistent.
