"I am very privileged to be appointed to this role at a time of great opportunity and challenge for healthcare in Ireland. I look forward to leading the organisation and the reform programme already underway by supporting our staff to deliver quality healthcare services efficiently to meet the healthcare needs of the people of Ireland."
"I am very pleased to welcome Anne back to the HSE. As well as her invaluable experience with Vhi, her extensive career with the HSE as an occupational therapist, National Director for Mental Health services and as Chief Operations Officer for the HSE through the COVID pandemic will stand her in good stead as she leads the HSE on its journey of reform."
Anne O'Connor will become chief executive of the Health Service Executive with a salary of €398,174 and is expected to take up the role in Spring 2026. Bernard Gloster will step down as chief executive in March. The appointment followed an open, competitive selection process. O'Connor previously held several positions within the HSE, including Chief Operations Officer during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic with oversight of hospitals. She left the HSE to become managing director of Vhi Health and Wellbeing. She trained as an occupational therapist and holds MSc degrees in Occupational Therapy and Management Practice.
