Sorry I have no idea but they don't have to if they don't want to. However, as Scotland has a history of poor health duea number of factors I would be very surprised to read if the funding for NHS Scotland has not increased in real terms and percentage terms over the years. Nearly 50% (£12.9bn) of the Scottish Block funding made available for 2016-17 was allocated to NHS Scotland. Check from page 165 of the linked Expenditure plans (http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0049/00491140.pdf) which provides government spending figures from 2008-09 to 2016-17 over all the different services they oversee. Health is the number one line in the tables. I will leave it to you to find the equivalent document and tables for England and Wales. They have to publish this kind of document each year with the 2016-17 edition due out next month. I hope this is helpful.
