The HSE has announced details of the appointment of Regional Executive Officers (REOs) for the six new HSE Health Regions.

As part of implementing Sláintecare, the HSE is organising service delivery into six health regions from March 1st 2024.

Each REO will be the accountable officer at Health Region level, responsible for the delivery of high-quality, safe, and accessible services for the population of their region.

REOs will report directly to the HSE CEO on the operation and management of the Health Regions. They will form part of the core HSE Senior Leadership Team, providing regional input into the development of national policies and standards.

In the HSE Dublin and South East area which covers Waterford, Martina Queally has been appointed as REO.

Martina has led a range of change, crisis and service transformation programmes. In 2011 as Integrated Services Area Manager for Dublin South East Wicklow, she amalgamated three community health services and an acute hospital network, and in 2005 she led the establishment of the Local Health Office structure in Kildare and West Wicklow.

Martina trained as a Registered General Nurse before qualifying as a Midwife and Public Health Nurse and she graduated with a MSc. in Heath Services Management from Trinity College Dublin in 2002.
