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 | 16 days | 100% | 1330 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 90 days | 50% | 1634 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 206 days | 68% | 332 surgeries |
What is not here
