Labor dispute in medical transport: Eleven disciplinary proceedings after driver refusals

Answer

Why are Mallorca health authorities under pressure over ambulance staff?

They are being criticised for responding to the crisis with disciplinary cases instead of solving the practical problems first. The pressure comes from the need to keep emergency transport running while also dealing with staff concerns, licence training and vehicle suitability. In Mallorca, that combination has turned a staffing issue into a broader public service problem.
