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 | 16 days | 98% | 2137 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 76 days | 61% | 2316 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 316 days | 67% | 1096 surgeries |
What is not here
