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 | 17 days | 99% | 951 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 49 days | 85% | 2182 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 267 days | 84% | 1449 surgeries |
