You'll find that the Scottish Parliament actually have a say in where they put funding. There is the theory that many people put off going to the doctors due to the high cost of prescribed medicines, thus conditions worsen and cost the NHS far more in the long run, than if they had been addressed earlier. Partly the reason is to encourage people to seek medical help sooner, rather than later, when treatment costs at that point are far higher to treat said illness.

Possibly the Scottish Government actually give more of a damn about the health of their countrymen than their English counterparts do....... just a thought.

I think the problem is that too much English taxpayers money is given to Welsh & Scottish parasites.
