    Why is it that dental treatment isnt included in the over 60s savings?

    You could always move to Wales, then you'll get free prescriptions regardless of your age and situation. We're a bit more advanced when it comes to healthcare than that third world place over the border ;).

    The same too for Scotland.... And some people wonder why we're voting YES?

    I don't think so. As a child, they were also free!

    NHS Scotland and Wales have, and will have, regardless of yes or no(in the case of the former), a finite amount of money to spend.
    Do you want free prescriptions and car parking or the expensive treatments and life saving drugs which we get in England.
    The only thing that is constant is change.
