And Auditor-General Rod Whitehead's report on Tuesday clearly spells it out - the state's health system is not working effectively.
The fact Launceston General Hospital spent more than 70 per cent of time between June 2018 and January this year at the highest possible level of escalation and at a constant state of gridlock is not acceptable.
Statistics for the Royal Hobart Hospital are far worse, with ambulance ramping and waiting times statewide above national averages - skyrocketing in recent years.
Ambulance ramping across Tasmania's four major hospitals increased by about 149 per cent between 2012-13 and 2017-18.
A range of factors have also lead to significant growth in demand for inpatient beds.
Mr Whitehead has made 10 recommendations which Health Minister Michael Ferguson said the government was willing to consider and workshop with stakeholders.
The government admits the system isn't flawless and says it has increased staffing levels by 1000 over five years, while pointing out it will lift its health spending to $8.1 billion over the next four years - an increase of $544 million.
But independent health policy analyst Martyn Goddard and other commentators say more needs to be done to lift standards.
Doctors, nurses and support staff do a wonderful job, but they can only do so much with what they have got.
They are pushed to the limit.
Of course, the state government must do more but it is cheap unproductive for Labor and the Greens to throw political stones without putting forward solutions, and outlining how they would fund them.
It's time for bipartisan politics to solve the poignant issues, and the Access Solutions Meeting in June is the perfect chance for something meaningful to occur.
Politicians of all colours should be striving to work with peak bodies for the best system possible to serve the Tasmanian people.
