Referral

Devon patient choice statement

NHS Devon Is committed to enabling patient choice as set out in the NHS Constitution. NHS Devon also recognises that sometimes referrals are made outside the area that are not subject to patient choice and this results in Local NHS resource leaving Devon. NHS Devon prefers and actively promotes local referrals wherever a clinically equivalent service exists, to maximise both investment in local services and convenience for patients, though patient choice will be respected. NHS Devon's summary position on referrals can be found using the link below;
