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 | 9 days | 92% | 396 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 38 days | 86% | 811 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 216 days | 97% | 996 surgeries |
