Excuse my repetition; I've asked this before but nobody has ever come up with anything.
So... in Scotland we get various benefits that aren't offered in England. Free elderly care and no uni tuition fees are the big ones, but also free prescriptions, free hospital parking, baby box etc.
The funding ScotGov receives for these devolved areas is calculated to be exactly equivalent to UKGov's spending. So my question is this: what does England get instead of these things that Scotland doesn't?
