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.
| Urgency category | Median wait | Treated within the recommended time | Surgeries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | 18 days | 100% | 91 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 55 days | 100% | 244 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 264 days | 99% | 316 surgeries |
