Prescription charges to rise by 20p in England

One for us English I know but yet another example of why it can be detrimental to be in employment with failing health.

Quote:

The cost of prescription charges in England will rise by 20p to £7.85 from 1 April, the government has announced.
In other parts of the UK, prescriptions are free.

I was annoyed at some Tory on the news yesterday when she said "The majority of people won't have to pay".

My question would be "So how many million are the minority"? and "Why is it you don't pay in Scotland and Wales (Irelend to IIRC)"?
