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 | 19 days | 100% | 215 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 54 days | 97% | 485 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 336 days | 80% | 1660 surgeries |
