Ask to be referred to an NHS provider you choose, in a letter that cites the NHS guidance by name.
Under NHS Patient Choice Guidance (NHS England, 19 December 2023), adults in England have a legal right to ask their GP for a referral to any NHS-contracted provider, not just the local one. We draft the letter that names the guidance, names your provider, and goes on your medical record.
Where Right to Choose applies today.
ADHD (adult assessment)
Often 3 to 7 years on NHS local pathways.
Autism (adult assessment)
Often 2 to 5 years on NHS local pathways.
Not listed? Right to Choose covers most elective NHS pathways. Start your RTC letter and tell us the condition in the form.
