This interim guidance has been produced to help commissioners, GPs, and providers support patients' right to choose their providers of mental health services following their first referral an outpatient appointment (a legal right from 1 April 2014). This includes the right to choose from any provider which has a contract with any clinical commissioning group (CCG), not only the CCG responsible for that patient. The guidance outlines the types of mental health conditions and services subject to the right to choice and those excluded from the right to choice. Separate sections contain information for commissioners, GPs and providers. The guidance has been developed with input from commissioners, providers and GPs and other stakeholders. The interim guidance is open to consultation until 15 August 2014, after which the final version will be published. (Original abstract)
