Only Great Britain from the United Kingdom pay for prescriptions!

Today the Scot's have announced that they are to make prescriptions free, the same as Wales and Ireland.
Why is it we have to in the UK?
I just don't get this. The NHS needs funds desperately and here we are announcing free prescriptions, but not in the UK and the UK tax payers are paying for all of this free service to the other countries of the UK.

Where is the logic?

The population of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is approx. 10 million I would guess that prescription fees would fetch about Stg 250 million. Is this too small to sniff at???
