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 | 15 days | 96% | 48 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 26 days | 92% | 286 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 77 days | 98% | 341 surgeries |
