From the BUPA website (BUPA is a big private healthcare provider in the uk)

UK healthcare is predominantly undertaken by the National Health service, not by private providers like BUPA.
Companies like Bupa are generally more wary of litigation, and all proceedures are essentially elective, because they provide a secondary alternative to the primary care system for a restricted range of treatments.

I just reference BUPA because it came up on google. I agree in general with your other point that targets distort the way the NHS provides heathcare. However thats a problem with the mechanism of tragets and is nothing to do with an EV calculation based on the values involved.
If your post was criticising targets as a way of providing heathcare, as implemented in the uk, then I would agree with you.
