The CEO of the HSE, Mr Bernard Gloster, has confirmed he will step down at the beginning of next March. He will retire from the public service after almost 38 years, including three as HSE CEO.
Mr Gloster said: “I continue to be privileged to serve in this very important role and for the coming months I will be working hard with the board, the Minister, and the Department to advance many improvements and responses to challenges.
“I wanted to bring certainty to the future leadership of the organisation as I am now in my third year as CEO. I have today submitted my resignation to the Chair of the HSE Ciaran Devane and Minister Carroll MacNeill, allowing time to prepare for the next phase of leadership of our health and personal social services.
“I particularly want to thank the Chair and the Minister for the kindness shown to me during this significant personal decision. I will retire from the public service on March 5th, 2026. I also want to express my deep appreciation to all of our staff for the work they continue to do every day to serve the public.”
Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill stated: “I extend my enormous thanks to Bernard, an extraordinary public servant, who has dedicated himself, seven days a week, to improving the health service for everyone in Ireland.
“Since he took over his position in 2023, Bernard has brought over 30 years of public sector experience to advance leadership across the HSE organisation and I have greatly appreciated his work, his expertise and his friendship in my short time as Minister. I look forward to working with him in the coming months to continue our good work to advance a health system that works better for all.”
