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 | 14 days | 100% | 442 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 60 days | 89% | 1117 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 273 days | 93% | 1029 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
