Prof. Brian Lenehan expressed his bewilderment in an affidavit about the failure to activate the overcrowding escalation protocol during a critical incident, highlighting how it contributed to dangerous conditions in the emergency department.
Lenehan stated, 'Regrettably, and for reasons unknown to me, the escalation protocol was not implemented on the evening of 17th December, 2022,' underscoring a breakdown in emergency management procedures.
As the chief clinical director of UHL, Lenehan faced scrutiny over his leadership responsibilities after the tragic death of Aoife Johnston, raising questions about protocols in critical situations.
The High Court proceedings centered on Lenehan's fight against a HSE decision that placed him on administrative leave, as he sought clarity and justice over the tragic events.
