Hi All

we read often here about our rights to choice in the NHS. 
here is a link I received this morning in my inbox

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-nhs-choice-framework?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=35225eb7-ee87-44ef-b771-67d412bd3ed3&utm_content=daily

what I find interesting is our rights when the two week cancer referral rate is not met and if there is more than an 18 week delay for hospital care.

  • Hello  

    It's a bit confusing because in "3" it says you don't have a choice in your care provider for the 2 week cancer referral as you "MUST" be seen!!

    Then in "4" you have a choice if you haven't been seen. 

    Is it me or is that the NHS closing the stable gate after the horse has bolted!!
