The people of Wales?
Question Author
i think it is the tax payer in england!
You've given yourself three stars, love it, but you are right, same as we pay for the people in Scotland.

What you have to realise, is that this goverment, with very few English in major positions, is destroying this country, they've been doing it ever since they first got in.

They've destroyed the United Kingdon, Scotland is in clover, Wales will be, England is a goner.
Yes it's the same people that pay for bloody everything, the English. Lonnie is correct the Scotts have invaded by stealth and are now in the final phase of the "the Project", the total dismemberment of England.
So the Welsh and the Scots don�t pay any taxes then?

Loosehead, William Wallace would have been proud, pity he never lived long enough to see it.
Hi hanabimax,
I live in Scotland and I pay dearly for my prescriptions. Tnik it costs nearly �7 a prescription or not far off it anyway.

thanks cruella so why is it not free in scotland and england like wales?
No idea,
Pensioners in Sclotland do not have to pay for their script but everyone else who works has to pay.
In fact, my hubby and myself are actually cheaper to buy a pre paid prescription. This can be bought annually or every quarter. Both of us are on meds, so we choose to pay pre paid prescriptions which cost, I think about �35 every four months. It may have gone up in price recently Not sure.

my point is if we in wales are getting perscriptions free WHY is the rest of the uk not!?
Wow all this racial criticism and not a sign of fingerprint, oneeyedvic, saxy_jag, sp1814, or philanthro, I wonder why? could it be because the Scots and Welsh (oh go on I might as well be classed racist again) the Jocks and Taffs mainly have non black skins?
as usual the english are paying,this is because wales is just a small town in england,you now what i mean gord
Ok then well I look foward to the day when Scotland gets to keep all the North Sea oil revenue. How the hell do you 'pay' for the Scots if we all pay our taxes too? ********!!
England is a dump, you are all just jealous anyway.
Someone needs to tell the Scottish that the oil you get out of the North Sea isn't the type that you can deep fry food in. Then see if they still want it all.
Clearly it is a political decision timed and designed for vote winning.

As for paying for it: research is showing that in deprived areas (of which too much of Wales qualifies as) people are not paying for the medication on prescription and are getting more ill as a result, leaving the NHS having to pay for what becomes much worse illnesses.

So paying for the medication now reduces the burden on more payments in future.

A cynic might argue that the reason that this is not hapening elsewhere is the same reason tuition fees have been sustained in England and not elsewhere: Gordon needs the cash, now, and he's not too bothered about the costs in the future after he has retired!
Are you sure Sasha13?? My boyfriend brings it home from the rig and I use it for deep-frying my Mars bars.
Deep fried Mars Bars - that brings back memories. Yum x
I guess many will try to relocate to Wales?
