Martin Curley likened reforming HSE to climbing Mount Everest
“Bad weather prognosis and supply chain and funding blockages. We could still succeed but there would be too many casualties, including me. Therefore, as part of a well thought out, broader and evolving plan, I resigned yesterday [Saturday] with immediate effect,” he said.
“The level of resistance that I ... have seen is quite extreme. Over the years, many clinical innovators have had a lot of resistance to change,” he told RTÉ Radio 1’s Drivetime. Prof Curley said he was “absolutely horrified” by the recent overcrowding in Irish hospitals, adding that technologies are available to assist in this regard.
He said there were “many times” when he wanted to walk out, but he felt he had responsibilities and thought he could “fix the system”.
