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 | 87% | 4589 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 69 days | 63% | 3561 surgeries |

What is not here
