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 | 24 days | 63% | 536 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 76 days | 60% | 721 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 247 days | 87% | 573 surgeries |

Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
