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 | 14 days | 82% | 7803 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 61 days | 73% | 3892 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 177 days | 87% | 1395 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
