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 | 21 days | 99% | 347 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 73 days | 78% | 1918 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 358 days | 65% | 1913 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
