I don't think you can correctly describe organisations such as the
Royal Mail or the NHS that have always been in the public sector as
"nationalised".
The use of the term "nationalised" is very strongly suggestive of an
organisation formerly in the private sector that has been taken into
public ownership, or nationalised.
Healthcare was in the private sector before the NHS was formed as a
vehicle to nationalise it.
Not exactly. A lot of it was in the municipal and charitable sectors.
