"G-CD REPORT RIGHT HAND DOWNWIND 34 QNH 1012"

Is all that is required, the presumption is always that without a condition/routing being added you fly direct to the point cleared. The surface wind is instant and therefore is passed when the pilot reports "Final". The surface wind may of course be requested at an any time but will still also be passed on the pilot reporting final.

If there is any doubt the controller may transmit: "route direct downwind right hand runway 34, QNH 1012". Whenever a non standard instruction is being passed it is encouraged for the controller to give an explanation "if time permits".
