Rejected petition Transplantees should get free prescriptions as they require life sustaining medication

More details

Having just had small bowel transplant surgery I am now on many drugs to ensure that the organ does not reject and that I can live a normal, healthy, long life. Surely I, together with other transplantees, should not be discriminated against and should be entitled to free prescriptions, as is the case with others who need life-sustaining medication.
