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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | 6 days | 100% | 494 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 36 days | 85% | 1758 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 94 days | 86% | 593 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
