In terms of it being a widely held Tory belief - fair enough, but the people guiding policy in this area (Hunt, Letwin etc) I think do have those beliefs, it's just often not politically expedient to mention them. However, actions speak louder than words, and I think the myriad reorganisations towards a market based healthcare system with massive private-sector involvement that have accelerated under their watch speaks volumes about the current view of the Tory decision makers towards the NHS. They also know these changes are not popular, either within their own party or the general public, so have cleverly couched them in terms of 'efficiencies' and obscure language.

I know you mean well, but the NHS is exceptionally efficient.
(also disagree that dismantling the NHS is a widely held Tory belief)
