There is hope the Planned Care Taskforce's report will work to address the differing blockages in our health system.
It's released 101 recommendations for improving equity, increasing access, and reducing waiting times.
Thirty will start being implemented in December, while the rest will be phased in through a number of years.
Resident Doctors' Association National Secretary, Deborah Powell told Kate Hawkesby a hard look at our systems is long-overdue.
She says the devil remains in the detail, which is why the recommendations will take so long to implement.
