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 | 14 days | 89% | 102 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 21 days | 94% | 473 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 18 days | 96% | 950 surgeries |
