The RGP have now apparently publicly admitted that the allegations they say they thoroughly investigated were passed onto them on December 2004, says the GSLP.
And add: "One would think it would be self evident that since Joanna Hernandez started work the last week in November 2004, the allegations to which the RGP have constantly referred have nothing to do with the Tribunal evidence relating to the unfair dismissal of Joanna Hernandez a year later.
"Obviously this confirms that the Social Services Agency did not take any action in respect of the allegations that were officially reported to them in June 2005.
"Even more surprising is the fact that the Attorney General included in the bundle of documents for the Tribunal Hearing, a year later, in June 2006, the statements with these allegations.
"Having been made aware of these statements by the Agency the Attorney General apparently did not advise the Agency of its duty of care towards service-users, nor has he seen fit to bring to the notice of the RGP allegations which might constitute a breach of the law.
"In the UK, since 1998 there has been specific legislation giving protection to persons who report matters that are suspected of being illegal.
"This protection provides for compensation without a fixed upper limit for dismissals resulting from whistle blowing.
"The RGP can hardly expect employees or other persons to take on the onus of responsibility for bringing allegations to their notice whilst these have been in the hands of the Government for 3 years and on the hands of the Crown Prosecution Service, which in Gibraltar is the Attorney General’s office for at least two.
"The very least the RGP should now do is to ask for the file which would have been made public in the course of the Tribunal."
