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 | 40 days | 42% | 1042 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 89 days | 52% | 960 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 193 days | 82% | 744 surgeries |
