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 | 17 days | 95% | 63 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 52 days | 88% | 661 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 307 days | 82% | 502 surgeries |
