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.

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.

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!
