18 Weeks Target

You have the right for any non-emergency treatment to start within a maximum of 18 weeks, or for the NHS to take all reasonable steps to offer you a range of alternatives if this is not possible.
NHS Constitution - Patient choice - NHS Choices

Choose and Book

All patients have the right to choose which hospital provider they are referred to by their GP. This legal right, which was introduced in April 2009, lets patients choose from any hospital provider in England offering a suitable treatment that meets NHS standards and costs.
