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 | 9 days | 96% | 128 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 29 days | 99% | 172 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 121 days | 100% | 370 surgeries |
