Overview
- The former regional health official confirmed he signed the triage protocols that sharply curtailed hospital transfers from care homes in spring 2020.
- He told Investigating Court No. 37 that on March 20, 2020 he emailed senior officials warning the plan was not feasible and wrote, “I do not wish any authority to have on their conscience a significant number of avoidable deaths.”
- Mur said the protocols developed a plan presented by then health minister Enrique Ruiz Escudero, who is not charged and now serves as a senator.
- The hearing arises from a complaint by Concha Quirós over her mother’s March 14, 2020 death at the Manoteras public residence in Madrid.
- Co-cited ex-officials Francisco Javier Martínez Peromingo and former SUMMA 112 manager Pablo Busca did not appear after failed notifications, while Mur testified by video from Andorra and the broader investigation remains spread across multiple courts.
