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 | 27 days | 68% | 1303 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 94 days | 47% | 899 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 390 days | 38% | 229 surgeries |
