I agree with everything you say, but GPs have always been private companies operating under NHS GP contracts, and Babylon Health isn't at all unusual in that regard. They are a very large provider, and that's causing problems for their hosting CCG. None of this detracts from your point: the NHS has been deliberately under-funded for years, and the Conservatives are pushing for non-NHS providers to provide services.
