Rather than going back and forth with "nope blocked for me", "oh works for me"
useless junk, did it not occur to anyone to run a simple console command?...

  $ host www.nhs.uk
  www.nhs.uk is an alias for san.nhs.uk.edgekey.net.
  san.nhs.uk.edgekey.net is an alias for e9134.ksd.akamaiedge.net.
  e9134.ksd.akamaiedge.net has address 2.19.223.45

And Akamai blocking Tor is very old news, at least from back in September 2013:

So that's whom you (also) should be pestering about this, not (just) the
clueless support drones at NHS.
