Launceston General Hospital has had eight findings against it in six years.

"Last week, the Launceston General Hospital (LGH) hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, yet again.

Tasmania's second-largest hospital being on the receiving end of a damning assessment by one of the state's coroners has become a depressingly familiar phenomenon.

This time the LGH earnt the ire of Coroner Simon Cooper for "substandard" medical records that potentially compromised a patient's treatment.

It's the latest in a long list of withering critiques of the hospital, including from staff working within it.

A look back at coronial findings handed down since 2017 reveals eight of them have been critical of the LGH."
