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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | not published | not published | not published |
| Semi-urgent | 73 days | 62% | 45 surgeries |
