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

Created by Jillan Aziz
Closes on

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.

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.
