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.
