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 | 24 days | 66% | 2811 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 69 days | 69% | 2176 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 238 days | 73% | 2260 surgeries |
