Who holds the waiting list when a patient has been offered CHD Choice?
There are a number of options when a patient is offered choice ranging across the NHS and private sector: • if the patient chooses private treatment, they remain on the original provider’s list (the trust is “commissioning” treatment from the private sector on a sub-contract basis) • if the patient chooses to go overseas for treatment, they remain on the original provider’s list (the trust is “commissioning” treatment from the overseas provider on a sub-contract basis) • if the patient chooses NHS treatment at another NHS provider, they also remain on the original provider’s list (the trust is “commissioning” treatment from another NHS trust on a sub-contract basis).
