The people doing the defunding say that it's defunding. They're proud of it. They wrote a manifesto saying they were going to do it, and then they did it.

It's pretty blatant dishonesty to say that healthcare hasn't been defunded, and then only focus on NHS provision of healthcare while ignoring public health, social care, nursing care, etc.

Oh? Do what, fund the health system at almost record levels?

It would be if someone had done that. Incidentally, are you saying that NHS has not been defunded? You wouldn't be very popular with said ideologues either then.
