Legislator summary

AI generated

The County Administrative Court dismissed the city administration's appeal against the health committee's decision allowing staff to bypass the booking system. The committee authorized the occupational health physician to see city employees outside the standard schedule, while the city administration argued this violated equality principles and exceeded the committee's authority. The court ruled that granting staff preferential access created an unequal position compared to other patients and that the decision exceeded the committee's statutory powers.

Oikeuskysymyksenä oli, saiko terveyslautakunta päättää, että

työterveyslääkäri ottaa vastaan kaupungin henkilökuntaan kuuluvia

potilaita ohi terveyskeskuksen ajanvarausjärjestelmän.

Terveyslautakunta oli päättänyt, että työterveyslääkäri ottaa

vastaan kaupungin henkilökuntaan kuuluvia potilaita arkisin

kello 8-9 ohi normaalin ajanvarausjärjestelmän.

Kaupunginhallitus kumosi terveyslautakunnan päätöksen kaupungin

terveydenhuoltosäännön ja yhdenvertaisuusperiaatteen vastaisena.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että terveyslautakunnan päätös meni sen

toimivaltaa ulommaksi, koska kaupungin henkilökuntaan kuuluvat

sen mukaan pääsivät muita terveyskeskuksen asiakkaita

edullisempaan asemaan, ja hylkäsi kaupunginhallituksen päätöksestä

tehdyn valituksen.
