*It should be noted that the Commonwealth definition for Elective Surgery changed from 1st July 2021 (AIHW meteor 732440). The main effect of this is that cystoscopy (code 36812-00) is no longer defined as Elective Surgery. The above table includes ~400 to ~500 cystoscopy admissions per fin year from 2017-18 to 2020-21 and no cystoscopy for 2021-22.
