Maybe so, so tell me - what is the value of external contracts entered into by NHS England? And why they aren't seen as privatisation (even by 'the back door')?

Depends on your definition of NHS England body
I'd suggest it depends rather more on your understanding of what constitutes privatisation.

My reading of the debate is that Labour are re-nationalising the railways, and re-nationalising ... erm, the National Health Service.

Oh - the same irony that rail franchising is declared dead and the TOCs will be nationalised, whereas flavour of the month in bus operation is a network designed by the public sector, with routes or areas operated by franchises?
