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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | 16 days | 97% | 284 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 54 days | 91% | 598 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 326 days | 87% | 1085 surgeries |
