There is unrelenting pressure from corporations to privatize our health care. Everywhere in the world.
BoJo actually hired a USA corporate CEO from the industry to plan the dismantling of the NHS and I think he succeeded.
Breaking things up into small units that can supplement shortfalls in funding with for-profit out-sourcing will, inevitably, lead to larger shortfalls in funding. Of course.
That's the UK done for and it's happening in Canada too with the province of Alberta leading the way, but there are moves and pressure everywhere. Healthcare in Canada is social, but not national as with the NHS and provinces have a lot of autonomy. There are rules, but Alberta is breaking them using an infrequently used clause in the constitution.
