All the elective surgeries captured in (a)-(c) reflect public patient data at Peel Health Campus (PHC). The data shows a reduction in category 1 patients in 2021-2022 compared to previous years. This is partly due to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) change in definition.
(a)        (i) 1218
(ii) 1201
(iii) 726
(b)        (i) 1901
(ii) 2250
(iii) 1373
(c)        (i) 1675
(ii) 1771
(iii) 1374
(d)       (i) - (iii) The Department of Health does not record information of this nature. PHC is privately operated.
