The UK NHS is devolved to the constituent countries of the UK and this post appears to relate solely to the English NHS.

I don't know if the Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish instances have similar thoughts, or not.

English NHS, not (necessarily) all of UK

To be fair to LWN, it's NHS England who insist on using the NHS.uk domain name and branding. People more fussy about these things have brought them up with Terence in the past but it doesn't feel like it's worth making too big a fuss about especially given NHS Scotland seems to just copy most of the English content on its websites and continues to use the .scot.nhs.uk domain.
