St Vincent's Hospital Group to have two CEOs

St Vincent’s Hospital Group has created two chief executive posts in a bid to bring it into line with public pay policy.

The move came just before a HSE deadline on March 31 which would have seen the group hit with budget cuts of up to 20% if it did not comply.

Current CEO Nicholas Jermyn is resigning as boss of the public hospital and will work exclusively as head of the group, which includes the private hospital and St Michael’s. This creates a vacancy as CEO of the public hospital, which will be filled on a interim basis by Killian McGrane.
