Urgency categories
Urgency figures cover all planned surgery at the hospital, not one procedure. They are never combined with the procedure figures. Your treating specialist assigns your urgency category — it is not something you choose. What the categories mean, and how every hospital compares.
| Urgency category | Median wait | Treated within the recommended time | Surgeries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | not published | not published | not published |
| Semi-urgent | 63 days | 86% | 119 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 276 days | 77% | 233 surgeries |
