Justice will strengthen the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Balearic Islands with 13 professionals
The Ministry has reported that other territories that were understaffed will also be supplied with personnel, but the Balearic Islands will be the ones to receive more staff
PalmaThe Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts will strengthen the staff of the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Balearic Islands with 13 more professionals. This was reported by the Ministry weeks after ARA Balears published the situation of work overload suffered by the IML due to the increase in work and the lack of professionals. Ministry sources have reported that the IML will also be provided with 20 psychologists, social workers and educators, and autopsy technicians from four other autonomous communities.
According to a statement from the department headed by Félix Bolaños, the Institutes of Legal Medicine of the Balearic Islands, Extremadura, Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, and Murcia will be reinforced, communities in which the Administration of Justice is the responsibility of the Ministry. In total, there will be 33 new professionals: 23 technicians from psychosocial teams (psychologists, social workers and educators) and 10 autopsy technicians. The Balearic Islands are the territory that will receive the most reinforcements, with 13 new professionals; Extremadura will receive 9; Castile-La Mancha and Murcia, 4 each; and Castile and León, 3. Their incorporation will begin in July and will represent a 15.6% growth in the labor staff.
The measure is part of a comprehensive plan by the Ministry to improve the efficiency of the IMLCF in communities that do not have the transferred competence of Justice. Its objective is to advance in the structural improvement of the labor staff of these institutes and guarantee an efficient, quality public service in accordance with the relevance of their function. This comprehensive plan, which the Ministry has been working on for months, includes organizational measures to improve efficiency and homogeneity in the preparation of expert reports. Among them, a new, more efficient organizational model based on an analysis of workloads, the application of common intervention methodologies and standardized report models, and greater collaboration between different Institutes of Legal Medicine. In addition, the Ministry maintains lines of collaboration with the General Council of Official Colleges of Psychology.
