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 | 13 days | 93% | 83 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 56 days | 88% | 272 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 265 days | 85% | 311 surgeries |
