Given Osakidetza’s refusal to investigate “the striking results of the first exam”, ELA has filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution Service.
Euskaraz irakurri: Osakidetzako Pneumologiako LEPean irregulartasunak egon direla salatu du ELAk Fiskaltzan
The Union DE A has this Thursday at the prosecutor’s office of the Supreme Court of the Basque Country (TSJPV) the Osakidetza Pneumology OPE December 2022 upon suspicion of a possible fraud crime.
As explained by the person in charge of the Basque health service in that center, Esther Saavedra, in statements to the media, the purpose of the complaint is to investigate the results of that investigation and to clarify any responsibilities. ELA’s “conjectures” are based on the fact that the top four OPE numbers correspond to four pulmonologists working in the same hospital, and this “talent concentration” is striking because Osakidetza has thirteen hospitals with pulmonary units.
Added to this is the “very striking” circumstance, as he specified, that only 8 of the 69 applicants get more than 70 points and “coincidentally” the first four got more than 82 points.
As Saavedra recalled, ELA requested an investigation into this investigation from Osakidetza, who declined, believing that “he had had the maximum guarantees and complied with the principles of equality, merit, capacity, objectivity, impartiality, transparency, agility and reliability”.
The union representative has said that the selection of the court in this case was by lottery and that the preparation of the exams also fell to this court, despite the fact that the Ministry of Health had stated that the IVAP would prepare them.
ELA has already gone to the prosecution regarding a previous OPE (2016-2017) to inform them of the irregularities it had discovered and request a “rigorous and independent” investigation into what happened. “Those alleged leaks revealed an entire system in which certain service headquarters decided who and when were given permanent positions in Osakidetza; a system that was not limited to just that selection process,” said ELA.
However, ELA requires Osakidetza to take the necessary steps “to ensure, once and for all, a transparent, impartial selection that guarantees equal opportunity and the principles that should govern access to government employment.” “His refusal to open the requested investigation clearly shows that he has no desire to go down that path,” ELA concludes.
