Health Department appoints permanent occupational physicians in execution of bankruptcy court ruling

The Department of Health has agreed to the appointment as permanent statutory staff, specifying the chosen destination and definitive status, of the individuals approved following a court ruling in the selection process for occupational physicians of health institutions. The decision is detailed in the Resolution of November 3, 2026, of the General Directorate of Personnel, published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) No. 10490, of November 10, 2026 (reference DOGV-C-2026-34805). The deadline for taking office is one month, starting on November 16, 2026.

The resolution is issued in accordance with the Resolution of July 1, 2026, of the General Directorate of Personnel, which modified, in execution of a court ruling, the final resolution of the merit-based competition convened on December 21, 2022. That call organized the exceptional stabilization process via merit competition to fill the statutory positions in Annexes I and II of Decree 71/2022, of May 27, of the Consell, in application of Law 20/2021, of December 28, on urgent measures for the reduction of temporary employment in the public sector. The text was published in DOGV No. 9496, of December 23, 2022.

The single act for the choice of destination was held among the individuals summoned in Annex II of the Resolution of October 23, 2026, of the General Directorate of Personnel, published on the Department’s website on October 26, 2026. The resolution is based on Article 18 of Decree 22/2025, of February 11, of the Consell, which approves the Organic and Functional Regulations of the Department of Health.

A single destination awarded in Elda

The annex of the resolution, headed in Valencian and Spanish as «METGE/SSA TREBALL – Nomenament / MÉDICO/A TRABAJO – Nombramiento», lists a single appointed person:

• María de los Dolores Zamora Ruiz, with partially protected ID (*9419), in position 1 and with code 1215.
• Health Area: Alacant-Centre / Alicante-Centro.
• Department: Departament de Salut d’Elx… specifically, Departament de Salut d’Elda / Departamento de Salud de Elda.
• Center: Hospital General Universitari d’Elda – Verge de la Salut i el seu C.E. (Hospital General Universitario de Elda – Virgen de la Salud and its C.E.).
• Municipality: Elda.

Taking office: one month from November 16

The deadline for joining the awarded center is one month, starting on November 16, 2026. Those who do not join after this period will lose the rights derived from their participation in the selection process, following a hearing and via a reasoned resolution, except in cases of force majeure or impossibility assessed by the competent personnel body, which will suspend the deadline until the cause disappears.

In centers with several offered vacancies, these will be filled as the appointed individuals join, respecting the order of the termination criteria regulated in the fourth additional provision of Decree 192/2017, of December 1, of the Consell, which approves the Regulation for the selection and provision of statutory personnel of the Valencian Health System.

A trickle of stabilization resolutions

This publication adds to the series of appointments issued in execution of a judgment within the same 2022 selection process and other categories, such as the resolutions of September 28, 2026, for SAMU doctors and mobile team doctors, or that of October 22, 2026, for family doctors of primary care teams. All share the same scheme: appointment with a definitive destination and a one-month period to take office.

Challenge

The legitimate parties may file an incident of execution of judgment against the resolution, according to articles 7, 109, and concordant articles of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the contentious-administrative jurisdiction. The text was signed in València on November 3, 2026, by María Amparo Pinazo Gamir, Director General of Personnel.

The regulation closes, at least in the category of occupational physician, one of the branches of the stabilization process that accumulated the most litigation, and it does so with a single allocated position: the conversion into permanent statutory personnel with a definitive destination arrives for the professionals who passed the competition following the judgment, and the incorporation calendar is already fixed in the DOGV, with November as the key month for the health department of Elda.
