Osakidetza has awarded the 2016-2017 OPE after filing any leaks in court
Osakidetza has lifted the precautionary suspension of the award of the 2016-2017 Public Employment Offer after the Court of Álava shelved in September the charges against 17 of the 19 doctors and opponents investigated for alleged leaks of examinations, leaving open two of those investigated.
The justice system was investigating alleged crimes of infidelity in the custody of documents and violation of secrets for alleged leaks of examinations of opponents during examinations conducted for medical practitioners in the spring of 2018.
The medical specialties under suspicion were 8 and the persons under investigation - jurors and opponents - 19. In September, the Provincial High Court decided to file charges against 17 of them, as well as to open proceedings against two persons in the specialty of plastic surgery.
When the case was brought to justice, Osakidetza cautiously suspended the selective processes of this OPE, so the places have not yet been awarded. The resolution of the Director-General of Osakidetza, Lorea Bilbao, was published on Thursday in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country (BOPV) to lift this precautionary suspension.
Thus, the process of awarding places in all the specialties under suspicion has resumed, with the exception of plastic, aesthetic and repair surgery, a category in which two persons are still under judicial investigation.
In the 2016-2017 OPE, in which 72,500 people participated, the alleged irregularities led to the resignation of Counsellor Jon Darpon and led Osakidetza to repeat five examinations in three categories.
