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 | 15 days | 98% | 101 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 74 days | 92% | 577 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 244 days | 99% | 936 surgeries |
