Starting 10 November, the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) can make contract offers using the new rankings, but only for centres candidates had selected before the 31 October cut-off.
The Sindicato Médico Andaluz (SMA) says the definitive lists for all called statutory physician categories have been published after objections to the provisional scoring were resolved. They cover both the Selection Pool and the Temporary Internal Promotion Pool.
The new rankings do not include members of the extraordinary ECS pool. The SMA says they are due to be added in the coming days, with candidates’ centre preferences updated to those held at the end of 9 November. The CSFIISS A1.4 specialties remain outside the process while their pools await a new agreement that is still under negotiation.
Appeals against the resolutions approving the lists can be made through an optional administrative reconsideration procedure. The filing period runs from 10 November to 9 December. The SAS has also published the relevant resolutions and a progress table for the internal promotion lists.
A separate dispute concerns minimum staffing for the general strike on 11 November. An order published in the BOJA sets minimum services for public and private healthcare. At certain health centres, it provides for one doctor to deal exclusively with urgent cases during normal opening hours.
The SMA says that provision does not account for the other roles needed to operate a primary-care centre. It has asked the SAS to appoint minimum staff among porters and cleaners, nursing auxiliaries, administrative staff and nurses as well. The union advises doctors named for minimum services not to take on duties belonging to other professional categories. Where no minimum staff have been appointed for those roles, the union says responsibility lies with the administration and the centre cannot open.
The medical strike committee has also met with the Socialist Parliamentary Group as part of its discussions with major political parties. It comprises the Confederación Española de Sindicatos Médicos (CESM) and the Sindicato Médico Andaluz (SMA), with the Sindicato Médico de Euskadi (SME) also represented. The organisations had previously met the PP and VOX.
The committee raised three core demands, including a separate medical statute to regulate doctors’ professional and working conditions, with their own negotiating framework and effective representation. The committee says the PSOE provided neither a sufficiently clear position nor specific commitments on these issues.
