During the time when the joint control group was discovered during the preparation of the control report, the management of the ICUTR sent an appeal to the Ministry of Health with a request to approve the “Declaration on the implementation of the Compliance Plan for the Sanitary Operation Permit”. The response of the Ministry of Health was negative, according to the results of the review of the documents submitted to the joint control commission by the representatives of ICUTR Cluj-Napoca.

• Finally, based on the control of the mixed team, the manager should establish a commission of administrative inquiry to investigate the causes that led to the current situation and identify the culprits. Also, the administrative investigation commission will highlight the amount of fines paid by the institute, the amount that must be recovered from the responsible persons.
