NHS Devon Integrated Care Systems (ICS) is aware that patients are approaching GPs requesting referrals to providers under their right to choose for an ADHD assessment.

Some practices have recently raised specific queries with NHS Devon ICS in relation to right to choose for both ADHD and ASC assessments.

The Right to Choose will apply when the following criteria is met:

The patient has an elective referral for a first outpatient appointment
The patient is referred by a GP
The referral is clinically appropriate
The provider has a commissioned contract with any ICS or NHS England for the required services.

To confirm, where all of the above criteria apply, GPs can refer direct to the provider chosen by the patient. In these circumstances, GPs do not need to submit an Individual Funding Request to the NHS Devon ICS.

Entering into a Shared care agreement is voluntary for GPs. The LMC have agreed the Shared Care Guidelines are suitable for use with our local providers and NHS Right to Choose providers but this does not compel anyone to enter into Shared Care arrangements. Please see the LMC Hub for template letters to patients and private providers.
