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 | 19 days | 91% | 79 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 50 days | 79% | 284 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 224 days | 82% | 483 surgeries |
