FOI 2025/1483

Could you please provide me with a list of the approved Right to Choose Providers for adult Autism assessments for patients in the Greater Manchester area? If you need specific areas then I am interested in those for patients living in North Manchester – particularly Salford, Bolton, Bury and Wigan.

I understand that Right to Choose referrals for Autism and ADHD have been paused by the Greater Manchester ICB but I’m trying to build a resource list to support clients who want to opt for the Right to Choose in the future. The list for ADHD is readily available through ADHD UK as these assessments can be done over video call but I am mindful that Autism assessments tend to be face-to-face. I can’t seem to find Autism Right to Choose options for Greater Manchester online hence asking you here.

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (NHS GM) does not hold a list of approved providers for adult Autism assessments under the Right to Choose pathway. NHS GM does not approve or maintain lists of providers for these services.
Right to Choose is a national entitlement and the process is managed within Primary Care, with individual GP practices supporting patients to identify suitable providers at the point of referral.
Therefore, the information requested is not held by NHS Greater Manchester ICB.
