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 | 10 days | 94% | 932 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 49 days | 88% | 661 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 121 days | 94% | 1374 surgeries |
