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 | 100% | 1596 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 49 days | 81% | 2147 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 131 days | 81% | 511 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
