Right to Choose ICB Restrictions
Some NHS Commissioners (ICBs) have placed activity restrictions on our ability to assess patients who are registered with their GPs. Where these are in place we are currently unable to assess new patients under Right to Choose. The ICBs have given no definitive timeline with any assurance on when the restrictions will be lifted.
ICBs with activity restrictions in place
Greater Manchester ICB:
Adult ADHD & Adult ASD restrictions

Questions about these changes
The decision to pause new assessments for ADHD and autism has been made by the ICBs as part of their local commissioning arrangements.
This decision is independent of our capacity to deliver assessments and is not related to the quality or availability of our service. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback about this change, please contact your ICB directly.
Your Right to Choose
Patients still have a legal Right to Choose their provider via the NHS Choice Framework. Patients may still wish to contact other providers directly and can find out more here. If you decide to move your referral to another provider, you will need to:
- Contact your existing Right to Choose provider who can facilitate this for you.
Please note that if you choose to leave our list and later return to us, you will rejoin the waiting list from the start.
