Rejected petition The right to a diagnosis added to the NHS constition

More details

At the moment we don't have the right to a diagnosis, which means those that may have a more rare disease or condition could end up without a diagnosis.

Without a diagnosis, not only can the patient suffer (perhaps unnecessarily if there is a cure for their undiagnosed condition) but also they cannot claim any disability allowance.
