It's already a devolved matter - funding may or may not be an issue depending on any financial agreements between 'Westminster' and 'Holyrood'. But if they are Independent why would there be any dealings with Westminster? There would be no agreement, they might as well ask Germany or France to sub them , the would need to run it themselves and sort out prescription fees which they currently get for gratis that cost English patients £9-00 per item. Seems to me that opting for Independence would open up a bag of worms and like a bag of worms it'll get soggy and the worms will start dropping out..... slowly at first but as the bag gets soggier they will fall out more and more quickly Phil Their is all the other stuff, tax, DVLA, the list is very long and expensive and the very small population of Scotland will have to fund it

If Scotland & little Jimmy want to be on their ownsome...we give them NOWT,we do not support them in any way! I'm sure there are plenty of Scottish folk who realise which side their bread is buttered & will vote to stay with us rather than going it alone.

I think in England it generates about £450 million so not sure what their income was. However we do not charge for 90% of prescriptions either. Am I right in that they have started generating income for NHS Scotland to pay for alcohol misuse with the income from minimum unit pricing of 50p per unit.

What would they do about defence and military?

What would they do about defence and military?Nothing needed as who would wish to invade Scotland?? Even the Romans who were professional invaders just stopped and built a wall. If Scotland do gain independence and south of the border really does quit the eu, then when Scotland joins the EU then the EU will insist Scotland has a hard border with England. That will really hit the Scottish economy.

Alcohol minimum pricing is simple, it can't be sold at less than 50p per unit. The only involvement the Scottish government might have would be to police any transgressions from this. It doesn't raise any revenue for the Scottish government.

We have to show our Passports every time we arrive in the UK, and every time we get back into the Schengen area. The new self-service machines are usually pretty quick. I can only imagine your are afeared of getting caught for unpaid library book fines or somesuch.
