Average Vasectomy wait by region
Your right to choose where you are treated
Under the NHS Constitution and the Health Act 2009, you have a legal right to choose which NHS or NHS-commissioned independent sector provider sees you for your first outpatient appointment.
Your GP must refer you via the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) and offer you at least five choices. If you were referred to a hospital with a long wait, you can ask your GP to re-refer you to a provider with a shorter wait — this is your legal right.
Research shows the average extra distance to a significantly shorter wait is just 13 miles.
