This is not true.

Private healthcare is alive and well in the UK in the supply of both privately and publicly-commissioned healthcare.

You're right, thanks for the correction on that.

Wikipedia said 8% of health care in England is private, mostly specialist, often through employer provided plans meant to augment NHS. The other 92% of health care is directly supplied by NHS [0]. So they appear to be a mix of public and private, like many other systems.
