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 | 20 days | 100% | 22 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 51 days | 95% | 104 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 204 days | 89% | 189 surgeries |
