Because the NHS is paid for by national taxation and therefore this twonk has already contributed to its upkeep. The RNLI rely solely on the generosity of the general public, it is a charity and is manned largely by unpaid volunteers. They truly do have better things to spend their valuable resources on than rescuing idiots like him. They have no legal responsibility towards him, but they went to him, driven by their moral fortitude.
