Review existing laws and rules to ensure asylum seekers can access transplants

Review existing laws and rules to ensure asylum seekers can access transplants — 51 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We are concerned that the “ordinary residence” rule and related NHS policies are preventing asylum seekers from being placed on transplant waiting lists, even in life-threatening cases.

Additional details

We call on the Government to review existing rules to ensure access is determined by clinical need rather than immigration status, guaranteeing fair, life-saving care for all.
