Milestones

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.
