Quick Info

• In England, you have the option of NHS Right to Choose. Accessing that allows you to access the shortest wait times that exist in the NHS England system.

• The shortest waits are with the outsourced providers (still an NHS Service, and NHS prescriptions should you opt for medication).

• We contact the providers once a month to learn their wait times.

• The information is displayed below to help you make your own choice.

• Some NHS Areas have put in restrictions to Right to Choose. We’ve started to collate data on that too. We don’t think the restrictions are legally or morally right and we hope you will get involved in helping us fight them.

Local Restrictions to Right to Choose
