Cat 3 patients will be allocated to a waiting list. Referring doctors may wish to consider referral to a Sydney-based haematologist offering telehealth consultations or to the haematologists at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. If your clinical condition changes whilst on the waiting list, please ask your referring GP to phone the haematology clinic to discuss whether an earlier review may be possible.
