Referral under the Right to Choose Legislation
To be referred for an Autism or ADHD assessment under the NHS Right to Choose legislation, patients must initiate the process.
‘Right to Choose’ means the patient selects the clinic they would like to be assessed by.
Once the patient has selected a clinic, they must then follow the instructions on how they initiate the referral. There is usually paperwork to fill in.
The GP Surgery should then need to fill in some other paperwork and send off the referral for the patient. (It varies between clinics)
