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 | 11 days | 99% | 201 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 41 days | 85% | 692 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 149 days | 95% | 243 surgeries |
