The Minister attributes the delay in the awarding of 13,322 places to the Covid crisis and the high number of approved

Mariano Aragn has been living for four years pending an opposition to access a permanent nursing position in Madrid: at the end of 2017 the Public Employment Offer (OPE) was published, in May 2019 he took the exam, passed and since then has been waiting for the evaluation of his professional merits to know if he is among the 5,266 applicants who will achieve the category of civil servants. The provisional list will be published in December. Then there will be a complaints period before the final resolution of the process.
I have expectations of achieving it, trust this interim of the Sierra de Guadarrama health center, doomed to arm himself with patience in the face of the long wait. Meanwhile, those of us who still do not have a stable job are changing places, which means a loss of human capital and quality of care; have precarious contracts, so there are people who are going to other autonomous communities where they pay more; and we cannot reconcile, he enumerates to conclude that the Government of Isabel Daz Ayuso does not believe in public health.
In the 2017 OPE, a total of 13,322 places: 5,266 for nurses, 4,387 for nursing assistants, 1,747 for administrative assistants, 1,513 for caretakers, 208 for physiotherapists, 130 for nurses in positions of Summa 112 and 71 for midwives. 45,818 candidates of all categories were approved. In May of this year the provisional lists of merits began to be published, but at the moment none of those places have been awarded.
In the Madrid Minister of Health they explain that in 2020 the processing of oppositions suffered the effect of suspension of actions that forced both the declaration of the state of alarm due to the health crisis caused by Covid-19 as well as the subsequent norms of prevention in the work environment of contagions for the control of the pandemic. These circumstances have not allowed the qualifying courts to manage the different phases of the selective processes normally, they argue.
In addition, they indicate that another of the obstacles that are delaying the resolution is the high number of approved in opposition phase and, therefore, of merits that have to be valued in the categories of nurse (19,331, 90% of the total) and nursing assistant (11,250), to which is added the lack of a computer program scale solvent. For this reason, they add, the General Directorate of Human Resources is enabling additional technical and personal means to support the work of the courts.
In 2015 they resolved the process in six months, and there were many complaints, because they had the incentive of the elections, contrasts Vctor Jimnez, president of the Madrid Nurse Association (AME), which attributes this neglect to the fact that they do not want to consolidate labor rights or pay for a professional career. People continue with painful contracts, waiting to see if they can pay a mortgage or have a child, and the last straw is that they announce a new opposition when those of us who have presented ourselves to the previous one still do not know if we have taken a place and if we have to. continue studying or not, he adds.
The PEOs are part of the Health plan for the stabilization of public employment and the annual replacement rates, with the announcement of 25,888 permanent positions since 2017. The Director requires the gradual resolution of the selection processes derived from said offers to allow, as they are resolved, that these professionals acquire the status of permanent statutory personnel, which constitutes an obvious improvement for professionals and for the provision of public service.
