To take to my GP appointment. From checkwaitingtimes.co.uk, data covers waits up to August 2026.

I would like to be referred for neurology to the hospital with the shortest wait.

Under the NHS Constitution, when my GP refers me for a first outpatient appointment I have the right to choose which provider I go to in England, including independent hospitals that hold an NHS contract. I would like to use that right.

The three shortest waits within 25 miles of Mid Sussex

1. Dorking Healthcare Limited (Dhc) (independent hospital, free on the NHS)
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 15 to 31 weeks. 16.8 miles from Mid Sussex. ODS code NNE.
2. Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 33 to 42 weeks. 14.6 miles from Mid Sussex. ODS code RTP.
3. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 44 to 55 weeks. 17.3 miles from Mid Sussex. ODS code RYR.

What I would like to ask

• Please refer me to my first choice above through the NHS e-Referral Service, or tell me which of the three you can refer to.
• If none of these is suitable, please tell me why and which provider has the shortest wait that is suitable.
• Please let me know my referral date, so I can track my wait.
