You do not have a right in the NHS to a second opinion nor to be referred for treatment, without your GPs agreement. Your MIL can not refer herself she must be refered by a GP with the exception of some special clinics i.e STD clinics
However in practice by shouting loud enough your doctor is liable to accede to the request if only for a quiet life !
There is also the option of going private.

Good luck
