No, but nor is the fact that they pay no prescription charges while the English do... - that is devolution for you!
Couldn't agree more that we should be paying prescription charges! Think it's a ridiculous, short-term attempt at vote grabbing by Salmond, but impossible to sustain - and yes, why should the English be paying???
As for cancer drugs though - that's kind of different - that's withholding drugs - the prescription charge is unfair, yes, but drugs aren't withheld completely! People aren't dying because of it!!
