I was wondering (more to whoever knows the SOP in government hospital),
For government hospital, for surgery you will need to be in a queue. If however the case where the patient are in urgency (life death situation) they will expedite it based on the risk and urgency of the patient through the queue?
What's the SOP for assigning the patient to the surgery queue? Just based on number of people alone? Or there's risk / urgency factor that are being taken into consideration?
Thank in advance.
PS for more context, cancer removal surgery for example.

Depend.
It is based on staging, outcome (survival rate, metastasis) and total condition. Usually patient with higher survival rate will be given priority.
Generally as what gentleman above mentioned. But sometimes even if terminal stage patient would be slotted earlier depending on condition, however their operation isn't curative but more to palliative care.It is based on staging, outcome (survival rate, metastasis) and total condition.

It is really case-to-case basis.
