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 | 9 days | 88% | 719 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 63 days | 61% | 1013 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 142 days | 81% | 246 surgeries |
What is not here
