Mr Reid has joined the exodus of senior health officials who have also recently announced their resignations<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The abrupt resignation of HSE chief executive Paul Reid raises serious questions for Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, according to Social Democrats Health Spokesperson R\u00f3is\u00edn Shortall.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first instance, I would like to wish Mr Reid well in his future career. However, his abrupt resignation as HSE chief executive raises serious questions for Health Minister Stephen Donnelly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Reid, in a statement, stated that one of the reasons for his resignation was that the \u201cHSE was entering a new phase and the appointment of a new leader was now timely\u201d.<\/p>\n

“However, Mr Reid has always previously expressed enthusiasm about \u201cleading the transformation\u201d in healthcare services so it is unclear why that enthusiasm has now waned \u2013 two years before this contract was due to expire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing of Mr Reid\u2019s resignation – in the midst of a controversy about the reconfiguration of hospital services at Navan Hospital in which Mr Reid and Mr Donnelly appear to be at complete odds – is notable. It begs the questions, has Mr Reid opted to leave because political support for health service reforms are absent?<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Reid has now joined the exodus of senior health officials who have also recently announced their resignations. Those resignations include: chief medical officer Tony Holohan; deputy chief medical officer Ronan Glynn and HSE chief operations officer Anne O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all acutely aware that reform of our health services, and the implementation of Sl\u00e1intecare, has been painfully slow. This staffing chaos will inevitably lead to further delays of much-needed reforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
