Average waiting time to be seen in clinic following acceptance of referral letter, is not currently available.

Priority 1 - These are acute cases and are not usually seen at Waitematā DHB but at Auckland DHB. There is no waiting time as patients are admitted or assessed immediately at Auckland City Hospital. We do very occasionally see testicular cancer cases and the waiting time is about 5 days.

Priority 2 - Patients referred with macroscopic haematuria are seen within a maximum of 30 days at a one stop haematuria clinic (we are currently working towards achieving a 14 day timeframe). This clinic includes a renal tract ultrasound and flexible cystoscopy. Whilst we endeavour to see all P2 referrals within 31 days although some individuals are currently waiting up to 62 days to be seen.

Priority 3 - Patients whose referrals have been graded as P3 will wait up to four months for their FSA appointment.
