	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally. Referrals are made from general practitioners (GPs) using the electronic referral system (eRS). If there is no availability on the eRS for a particular provider, the referrer uses the ‘defer to provider’ function to send the referral to the provider of choice, with an appointment made directly with the patient. There are no restrictions on a GP referring the patient to a particular provider. Following a referral to a hospital, the patient will be contacted when an appointment becomes available and will be managed in order of clinical priority.</p><p>Hospitals are required to validate patients on waiting lists at intervals to determine whether it remains appropriate for that patient. NHS England has also developed the ‘My Planned Care’ national patient platform, which is communicated to patients. This contains waiting time information updated weekly at provider and specialty level. In addition, clinical guidelines are developed to enable patients to manage their condition and optimise their health while waiting for treatment. Information is also provided on voluntary sector organisations which can support patients.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince grouped question UIN 51583 question first answered 27/09/2022 14:00:18 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
