It makes sense for Blair's people to say that this never occured before, even if it did. You never let on when a leader is in poor health, it makes him look less strong.
Clinton on the other hand has nothing to gain by telling people about this conversation he had. It sounds like he made a comment without thinking that Blair's people were going to say they never knew about this problem.
About the Lewinsky thing, if you were having an affair, would you tell everybody? No, you lie until its completly proven that your caught.
