The SES executes the ruling that annuls the scoring of a nurse

The Extremadura Health Service (SES) has arranged for the execution of judgment no. 210/2026, dated April 1, from the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Extremadura, which upheld the appeal of a candidate against the final list of merits for the Nursing stabilization process. The decision is published via Resolution of October 13, 2026, from the SES Management Directorate, in the Official Gazette of Extremadura no. 205, dated October 23, 2026 (official reference: 2026062645).

The affected process is the stabilization for access to the status of permanent statutory personnel in positions for Health Diplomates, Nurse category, in the health institutions of the SES, through the exceptional competition system. It derives from the sixth and eighth additional provisions of Law 20/2021, of December 28, on urgent measures for the reduction of temporary employment in the public sector, and was announced by resolution of the Management Directorate on December 20, 2022.

The final list of merit scores was made public by resolution on September 20, 2024. An appeal for reversal was filed against it, which was dismissed on February 20, 2025, followed by a contentious-administrative appeal, which was rejected in the first instance before the appeal ruled in favor of the candidate.

The ruling: ten years of work in Barcelona not valued

The court annuls the lower court’s judgment in the sense that M.ª Inmaculada Conde Crespo, represented by the court representative Ms. Aranda, shall have the time worked under the General Regime between April 1, 2007, and June 30, 2016, at the Ciutat Sanitària i Universitària V de Barcelona valued as merit, with the resulting consequences for the overall score.

The resolution reproduces the literal wording of the ruling and orders its execution in its own terms, such that the appellant’s scoring is recalculated with that period of nearly ten years incorporated into the experience count.

From number 319 to appointment in Cáceres

With the new score, the candidate is included in the final list of merits with order number 319 of the open category and a total score of 77.230. The SES reasons that this order number falls within the number of positions announced in the stabilization process, which grants her the status of permanent statutory personnel.

Consequently, the Management Directorate agrees:

• To recognize M.ª Inmaculada Conde Crespo’s right to acquire the status of permanent statutory personnel in the Nurse category.
• To appoint her as permanent statutory personnel, once compliance with the requirements of the call for applications has been verified.
• To assign her a position based at the Cáceres Hospital Complex.

Taking office on November 3 and effects from February 2025

The candidate must take office and join the assigned position on November 3, 2026, at the Management of the Cáceres Health Area. Failure to join attributable to the interested party and not justified will result in the forfeiture of her right and will render the appointment null and void.

The administrative effects of the appointment are the same as those that would have corresponded had she taken office in accordance with the resolution of January 28, 2025, from the General Directorate of Human Resources (DOE no. 21, of January 31), that is, as of February 10, 2025.

Scope limited to the appellant

The resolution is based on Article 40.1 of Decree 1/2022, of January 12, and Article 9 of Decree 59/1991, of July 23, which attribute the material execution of final judgments to the body competent by reason of the subject matter and allow the publication of the plaintiff’s data, the case number, and the content of the ruling in the DOE.

Furthermore, and in application of Article 51 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, the SES expressly provides for the preservation of the acts and procedures not affected by this resolution. The interested party may promote the execution incident provided for in Article 109 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction. The document was signed in Mérida on October 13, 2026, by the managing director, Encarnación Solís Pérez.

The ruling corrects a scoring process that had omitted a decade of professional practice and confirms that the valuation of previous experience in the public system can alter the order of precedence and, with it, access to a permanent position. For participants in the SES Nursing stabilization process, the resolution sets a precedent on how services provided outside the Extremadura Health Service should be computed, although its effectiveness is limited to the candidate who litigated.
