I got the impression she was against it being paid for with public money on principle rather than being solely down to the current state of the NHS. I'm just guessing though I could be wrong about that.
Conversion therapy doesn't help it damages the person further, this is the point, she's promoting something that actually harms people under the guise of being helpful. It has 'therapy' in it's name but it isn't therapy. Actual therapy that helps someone deal with their struggle could of course be beneficial. Conversion therapy isn't that.

I think she more promote's the idea that gay people should receive help if they ask for it.
Things have changed since then but i still think she would agree that anybody asking for help should receive it.
