He said he only has the knowledge of nurses who were discriminated against by drivers on the Grey Combi Route, but because they do not yet make a formal complaint, they cannot intervene in this fact.

He explained that the method for making complaints from the health contingency was that reports were received through lines 44 32 74 31 05 and 44 32 74 44 65 and in the email [email protected]
