## 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.](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/)

All planned surgery at Bentley Health Service by urgency category, 2024–25.

| [Semi-urgent](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/category-2/wa/) | 51 days | 75% | 1413 surgeries |
