If you submitted an application for the Kitchen Assistant positions of INGESA called in April 2026, the clock starts on July 30. The Resolution of July 15, 2026 approves the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates, and opens a remedy period of 10 business days for those who have been excluded. After that period without action, the exclusion becomes definitive.
The complete lists are available on the official INGESA website and on the General Access Point of the Administration.
What does this regulation establish?
The Resolution of July 15, 2026 approves the provisional list of persons admitted and excluded from the selection process to access fixed positions in the Kitchen Assistant category at INGESA, originally called on April 23, 2026. Access is through the general open access system and the modality is competitive examination.
Excluded candidates may remedy the defects that caused their exclusion within a period of 10 business days. The causes of exclusion recognized in the resolution are as follows:
- Identity problems
- Problems with nationality accreditation
- Lack of disability accreditation
- Failure to prove unemployment status
- Problems related to income level
- Failure to prove large family status
- Failure to prove victim of terrorism status
- Failure to indicate the examination location in the application
Each of these causes can be remedied by providing the corresponding documentation or information through the electronic procedure enabled with Cl@ve. The resolution does not remedy defects ex officio: the initiative rests entirely with the candidate.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates, the impact is direct: being definitively excluded from the process means losing the opportunity to access a fixed statutory personnel position in the public health system of Ceuta or Melilla. These positions entail job stability, fixed remuneration, and rights inherent to statutory personnel of the National Health System.
From an operational standpoint, the process requires that the excluded candidate:
- Identify the specific cause of their exclusion by consulting the list published on the INGESA website or the General Access Point.
- Gather the corresponding accrediting documentation for that specific cause.
- Carry out the remedy procedure exclusively electronically, with Cl@ve certificate, within 10 business days.
There is no in-person or paper procedure for remedying. Lacking access to Cl@ve or not having it activated may constitute an operational barrier that the candidate must resolve urgently before attempting the procedure.
Who does it affect?
- Admitted candidates: Must verify their inclusion in the provisional list and keep the proof. No additional action is required except waiting for the definitive list.
- Excluded candidates: Must act within 10 business days from July 30, 2026 to remedy the specific defect that caused their exclusion.
- Candidates with reserve position for disability: If the exclusion is related to disability accreditation, they must provide the corresponding certificate within the indicated period.
- Candidates with bonuses or special conditions (large family, victim of terrorism, unemployment status, income level): If the exclusion derives from failure to prove any of these conditions, they must remedy it documentally.
This call affects exclusively positions in Ceuta and Melilla, the two territories directly managed by INGESA within the National Health System.
Practical example
A candidate who submitted their application for Kitchen Assistant positions in Melilla receives notification that they are listed as excluded for "failure to indicate examination location" in their application. They have 10 business days from July 30, 2026 to access the INGESA electronic procedure with their Cl@ve certificate, indicate the corresponding examination location, and send the remedy.
If they do not act within that period, their exclusion becomes definitive and they are removed from the selection process, with no possibility of ordinary appeal on that defect. However, if they remedy correctly, they will appear in the definitive list of admitted candidates and may participate in the competitive examination tests.
What should candidates do now?
- Consult the provisional list: Access the INGESA website or the General Access Point and locate your name. Verify if you are listed as admitted or excluded and, in the latter case, note the exact cause of exclusion.
- Activate Cl@ve if you don't have it: The remedy procedure is only possible electronically with Cl@ve. If you don't have the system activated, do so urgently before the 10 business days elapse.
- Gather the accrediting documentation: According to the cause of exclusion (identity, nationality, disability, unemployment, income, large family, victim of terrorism, or examination location), prepare the official document that proves the requirement.
- Submit the remedy within the deadline: Carry out the electronic procedure within 10 business days from July 30, 2026. Keep the submission proof.
- Wait for the definitive list: After the remedy period, INGESA will publish the definitive list of admitted and excluded candidates. Admitted candidates will receive information about the competitive examination tests.
