Choice of Scan phase two
 From 30 April, patients facing long waits for imaging will have the option of going to an alternative provider to ensure they receive their scan within 20 weeks.
In the first phase of the Choice of Scan initiative, patients waiting longer than 20 weeks for an MRI or CT scan, and who did not have an appointment scheduled within 26 weeks, were offered scans at alternative providers. The initiative is now being extended to all diagnostic imaging scans, including ultrasound and DEXA, and will cover patients who have been waiting for 16 weeks and who do not have an appointment scheduled within 20 weeks.
