> the UK government initially decided

So, not an NHS decision but a political decision by the relevant cabinet minister? That changes the answer. It's important to distinguish between decisions made by "the NHS" (to the extent that this isn't just individual trusts, or NICE, or whatever) and political decisions made by the government which are ideological.

The decision was made by Public Health England. But the NHS is the government, regardless of how it's branded or how it arranges itself internally.
