So it's curious he missed your major factual error about private treatment on p 73 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/404423/patients-add-priv-care.pdf …: he campaigned for the change

It's not a "factual error". It may be worded a bit too strongly, that's all. Jesus.

That passage wasn't about the bloody top-up ban. It's about reference pricing systems, single rooms & stuff

It's also not correct about single rooms: offered on a paid basis in maternity where available

Oh yes, amenity beds....a private room for a small cost. This is a partial subsidy that benefits the well off at public expense.
