What does this number mean?

An estimate for someone arriving now, not a guaranteed wait. It is not the total time at the hospital. Sicker patients are seen first. How Halton Healthcare defines it

The colours are set by us, not by Halton Healthcare. Under 2 hours is the Canadian goal for even the least urgent patients. cihi.ca
