The Healthcare Technician exams in Nursing Care Auxiliaries called by INGESA in Ceuta are at risk. The Health and Social Healthcare Sectors Federation of CCOO Ceuta filed the administrative litigation appeal 589/2026 before the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, directly challenging the INGESA resolution of April 23, 2026 that called the selection process by competitive examination.
INGESA, in compliance with article 49 of Law 29/1998, regulating Administrative Litigation Jurisdiction, published the summons to interested parties on October 26, 2026. The clock is already running.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution published on October 26, 2026 does not resolve the appeal: what it does is formally summon interested parties to appear before the TSJ if they wish to be part of the judicial process.
The mechanism is as follows: when a union or agency challenges a call for exams, the law requires the Administration to notify all those who could be affected by the judicial resolution. Thus, those who participated in the selection process have the opportunity to appear as defendants and defend the validity of the call.

| Legal basis for summons | Article 49 of Law 29/1998, regulating Administrative Litigation Jurisdiction |

Economic and operational impact
For candidates, the impact is direct: months of preparation, registration fees paid and expectations of public employment remain in limbo until the TSJ rules.
If the court upholds CCOO's appeal and annuls the call, the selection process would be voided. This would imply:
- Loss of the positions called for candidates who have already passed phases of the process.
- Possible repetition of the process with a new call, subject to the conditions the court establishes.
- Uncertainty about the incorporation schedule for those who counted on these positions to access public health employment in Ceuta.
For INGESA, a possible annulment means the administrative and economic cost of relaunching the selection process, plus the delay in filling nursing auxiliary positions in Ceuta's health centers.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who participated in the call for Healthcare Technician in Nursing Care Auxiliaries at INGESA in Ceuta: they are the main affected parties and those who should consider appearing.
- Persons with legitimate interest in maintaining the call (for example, those who passed some phase or are on the waiting list).
- INGESA, as the calling agency and main defendant in the appeal.
- Health centers in Ceuta managed by INGESA, which depend on filling these positions for their operation.
Practical example
Imagine you are a candidate and passed the exam phase of this call. You are waiting for the merit phase to consolidate your position. On October 26, 2026, the summons is published in the BOE.
From that day, you have 9 business days (not counting Saturdays, Sundays or holidays) to present yourself before the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the TSJ of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, with seat in Seville, and request to be admitted as a defendant in appeal 589/2026.
If you do not, the judicial process continues without your participation. If the court annuls the call, you will not have been able to argue anything in defense of your position. That is why, although appearing is not mandatory, it is the only way to actively defend your interest in the exams proceeding.
What should candidates do now?
- Verify if you participated in the INGESA call of April 23, 2026 for Healthcare Technician positions in Nursing Care Auxiliaries in Ceuta. If so, the summons affects you directly.
- Calculate the 9 business day deadline from October 26, 2026 to know the final date to appear before the TSJ.
- Consult with a lawyer specialized in administrative law to assess whether it is worthwhile to appear as a defendant in appeal 589/2026 and how to do so before the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the TSJ of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla (seat in Seville).
- Submit the appearance brief to the court within the deadline if you decide to defend your position. Representation by a court agent and legal assistance are common in this type of proceedings.
- Follow the status of the appeal through the TSJ and the BOE to learn about the final resolution and its effects on the call.
