Waiting times by urgency category
Each tile shows one measure for all planned surgery at this hospital in one urgency category.
Your treating specialist gives you an urgency category. You do not choose it. Surgery in category 1 is recommended within 30 days, category 2 within 90 days and category 3 within 365 days.
A rank compares this hospital with the other public hospitals that published the same figure for the same period. The page shows a rank only on a current published figure. It never ranks a withheld or unreported figure. It also never ranks a figure from an earlier period.
