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 | 10 days | 100% | 2415 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 63 days | 61% | 1869 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 168 days | 69% | 530 surgeries |
What is not here
