Mark Hamilton was unable to attend a meeting of the Police Federation due to a medical procedure.
Mr Hamilton had been steering the organisation while moves are under way to recruit a new chief.
Federation chairman Liam Kelly said: “We had a thorough and detailed discussion of all the issues relating to the judicial review ruling, the treatment of our two probationer officers and the monumental data breaches. Mr Kelly said the leadership team of the PSNI needed to urgently clarify whether it intended to appeal against the High Court ruling.“We have to fix what’s fractured and change the entire way of working so that there isn’t a damaging and dangerous disconnect between the senior executive team and all officers.
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson had earlier said an interim leader needs to be “brought in” for the PSNI. “And whilst it is the responsibility of the policing board to make appointments, does he agree with me that perhaps what we need now, in the absence of a chief constable, is for someone to be brought in with the experience and leadership credentials that are needed in the interim period, pending the appointment of a new chief constable, to take control of this situation?”
In an earlier exchange between them, Sir Jeffrey said: “The data breach is a matter of national security because it includes officers who work with the security service in a very specialist role involving counter-terrorism and intelligence in Northern Ireland.
