So I don't think it's an ethical issue as such - more a company policy thing - they may have no such policy as to advertise internal before external etc. It's brilliant that they liked you so much they'd even tell you straight out that they want to create you a position especially.

I also work in the NHS and its common practice to advertise internally only as someone is already in mind for a post. Ethically I think its a pointless exercise if the decision is already made, i get the impression its done to tick some boxes.
Good luck pop80_uk, sounds like you're onto a winner there
