Presumably because the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly have decided to spend bigger proportionately larger portions of their overall budgets on those things. The money they spend on free prescriptions will not be available for other things and if England were to emulate them the cost for so doing would have to be clawed back from something else.
