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 | 11 days | 100% | 563 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 47 days | 92% | 935 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 86 days | 96% | 929 surgeries |
