Process for referral
You have a choice whether to be referred under the NHS or via a private provider (paid for by the NHS) under the ‘Right to Choose’ initiative.
Information about the Right to Choose scheme can be found here:
A general guide for Right to Choose referrals is that assessments can be in as little as 12 weeks and as long as 12 months, which is much quicker than the NHS alternatives. Waiting times vary depending on provider and you would need to research this before deciding where you would like to be referred.
