Free prescriptions for transplant patients.

The Issue

Free prescriptions for transplant patients.

NHS prescriptions are free to a number of categories under the NHS, but this list is antiquated and outdated. 

Transplant patients have a right to life without the worry of prescription costs. Tranplantee's have a lot to contend with after their transplant, like shock, pain, depression and anger. On top of this they should not have to struggle to buy medicines, so that they can live.

It is time that this list was reviewed to include all transplant patients who have had to have life saving surgery through no fault of their own, and need daily medication to keep alive.

We ask that this is addressed as a matter of urgency, so that this forgotten minority are given free prescriptions for their critically needed medication.
