Integration as statutory personnel in Defense hospitals: final list 2026

Key data

Defense Ministry health personnel who applied to integrate as statutory personnel now have a final response. The Resolution 400/38251/2026, of May 11, published in the BOE on May 19, 2026, closes the admission phase of the procedure called in November 2025 and establishes who can continue toward formalizing their new statutory status.

This process is not a minor change in denomination: it means abandoning the civil servant or general employee regime to be subject to the Framework Statute of statutory personnel in health services, the same legal framework that regulates health personnel in the National Health System.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the final list of persons admitted to the integration procedure as statutory personnel. This procedure was called through Resolution 400/38500/2025, of November 20, 2025, and affects the following health centers dependent on the Defense Ministry:

Integration implies a change of legal regime: personnel who until now had the status of civil servant or employee will be governed entirely by the Framework Statute of statutory personnel in health services. This affects aspects such as professional career, mobility, disciplinary regime and working conditions.

Those admitted on the final list must follow the procedure steps to formalize their new status. The resolution does not detail specific deadlines for that formalization, so it is necessary to be alert to communications from the Defense Ministry.

Economic and operational impact

The change of legal regime has direct practical consequences for the affected personnel and for the management of the centers:

• For admitted personnel: Integration as statutory personnel means adapting working conditions, remuneration and career to the Framework Statute. This may involve changes in supplements, in the system of position provision and in mobility between health centers.
• For the centers: Human resources management of the five centers must adapt to the new statutory framework for integrated personnel, with the administrative procedures that this entails.
• For those not appearing on the list: Non-inclusion in the final list may mean exclusion from the process. This has direct consequences on the possibility of accessing the conditions of the statutory regime, so urgent review of the administrative situation is a priority.

The resolution does not include quantified economic data (amounts, integration costs or specific remuneration variations), so it is not possible to offer comparative figures at this point.

Who does it affect?

• Civil servant personnel from the five Defense health centers who applied to the integration procedure called in November 2025.
• Employee personnel from the same centers who participated in that procedure.
• Human resources managers of the Defense Ministry and each of the five affected centers, who must manage the administrative transition.
• Personnel that does not appear on the final list or that detects errors in their data: must act urgently to review their situation.

Practical example

A laboratory technician with employee status at the Central Defense Hospital in Madrid who participated in the process called in November 2025 must now locate their name on the final list published in the BOE of May 19, 2026.

If they appear on the list, they can continue with the procedures to formalize their integration as statutory personnel and be subject to the Framework Statute of health service personnel. If they do not appear, or if their data appears with errors (incorrect category, wrong center, etc.), they must contact the administration immediately, as the list has a final character and the margin for correcting situations outside the deadline is very limited.

What should those affected do now?

1. Consult the final list in the BOE of May 19, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-10759) to verify that the name appears correctly and with the correct category and center data.
2. If you appear on the list: Wait for instructions from the Defense Ministry on the steps to formalize integration as statutory personnel and comply with them within the established deadlines.
3. If you do not appear or there are errors: Act urgently. Review the documentation submitted at the time under Resolution 400/38500/2025, of November 20, 2025, and file the administrative claims or appeals that correspond without delay.
4. HR managers of the centers: Identify affected personnel, prepare the necessary administrative documentation for the transition of legal regime and coordinate with the Under-Secretariat of the Defense Ministry on the next steps.
5. Consult specialized advice if there are doubts about the consequences of the change of legal regime on individual working conditions, remuneration or professional career.
