ADHD and ASD Right to Choose Service

If you are based in England under the NHS, you now have a legal right to choose your mental healthcare provider and your choice of mental healthcare team, this includes for referrals relating to Autism and ADHD assessments.  

Right to Choose within mental health is a relatively new scheme (since 2018) and as such, many patients are not aware of the options. This important right means that, for instance, should you decide the waiting time for your ADHD or ASD assessment is too long, then you can choose an alternative provider to suit you.
