What the petition asks
We want the Government to add organ transplant patients to the list of eligible conditions to receive free prescriptions. They require this medication lifelong, to stay alive, conditions like diabetes also require lifelong treatment but are eligible for free prescriptions.
Organ transplant recipients 16+ have to pay for immunosuppressant medication. Like other conditions, it requires life-long medication. Without immunosuppressant medication, the transplanted organ can be rejected, and may require further transplants - if they are available. Otherwise, it could be fatal.
