Madrid (EFE) of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero.
On March 29, the father of the children was arrested along with his partner after the Civil Guard searched the family chalet where the children lived “in a state of unsanitary conditions”, and he is released with precautionary measures.
Given that a large amount of sanitary material was found in the house in the registry, the Ministry of Health, “within its powers”, has opened a file on this doctor for “possible theft”.
But as it is a process that “is judicialized, and as long as the judge does not determine otherwise, he will continue to carry out his usual functions unless, by the judge, we are told otherwise,” the Minister of Health said on Tuesday. .
The College of Physicians, pending the investigation of the Colmenar doctor
For its part, the Madrid College of Physicians (Icomem) has indicated in a statement that they are available to the Ministry of Health to collaborate if necessary, despite the fact that the personal and/or family behaviors of a member do not fall within their skills.
The College “is pending the course of the investigation of the detained doctor”, but “it will not issue any assessment on an ongoing investigation so as not to interfere in it.”
This “does not prevent that if there is new information or data that actually belongs to Icomem’s own scope of action, measures are adopted and actions that may correspond procedurally and professionally are initiated, outside the competence of other organizations or institutions”. concludes.
