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 | 14 days | 99% | 760 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 57 days | 94% | 1196 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 336 days | 83% | 1824 surgeries |
What is not here
Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
