The Department of Health has referred the complaint to the Public Prosecutor's Office for "evidence of a crime" in a case of harassment at the Navarra Hospital

The harassment complaint was filed anonymously last December against a Chief of Service at the University Hospital of Navarre, and became popular when it was posted on a social network account, where a doctor at that Navarre public hospital reported that the Chief of Service's language and conduct "belittled, humiliated, and described women as' things'" and accused the Director of 'doing nothing even though she was aware of it'.

Now the committee of inquiry has completed its work and has drawn its conclusions in a report, in accordance with the procedure. 

In view of the existence of "indications that certain activities may constitute offences", he refers the report to the Public Prosecutor's Office, while at the administrative level he reports that the relevant proceedings are under way and that they will be reported when they are carried out.  

In addition, yesterday, Tuesday, the Secretariat of the Commission has sent a communication to all persons who have participated in the Committee of Inquiry to inform them of the initiation of proceedings in the Public Prosecutor's Office if the Public Prosecutor's Office considers that there is evidence of a crime. It has informed them, for example, that such persons may be summoned to testify or that they may review their statements to the Committee of Inquiry. "The Navarro Health Service has followed the steps laid down in the current protocol and the procedure envisaged for such cases after the report."
