What is NHS Right to Choose?

If you are a registered NHS patient in England and are referred by your GP for specialist treatment, such as a neurodevelopmental assessment, you have the legal right to choose an appropriate healthcare provider.

This is known as your Right to Choose.

It means you can decide which organisation will oversee your care, as long as they are located in England and fully qualified.

Right to Choose allows the NHS to better manage its wait lists and for you to access support faster.
