The Ministry of National Defense announced on the 10th that it was not a violation of the regulations, although it did not receive a deliberation of a remedy when extending his sick leave because he was not hospitalized due to the ‘suspicion of preferential holidays’ of the son of Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae. However, it was confirmed that three months before his son, Seo-mo (27), extended sick leave, the Ministry of Defense issued a letter instructing that if sick leave was extended, a medical examination.
On March 8, 2017, the Ministry of Defense sent an official letter entitled “ Instruction to emphasize compliance with the request for permission for medical treatment for active duty soldiers ” to the headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
According to the official letter released through the Ha Tae-gyeong People’s Force Office on the 11th, current Army regulations require that the minimum period of (permit request) for diagnosis and surgery be 10 days and 30 days. days a year. However, if an extension of more than 10 days is necessary, you were directed to receive a second leave of absence upon request in order to receive treatment from a private medical institution through the Military Hospital Health Care Review Committee.
The Defense Ministry said: “Recently, there have been more and more cases of active duty soldiers using the requested leave for medical purposes as an opportunity for their personal vacation. There is.”
Seo, who left sick leave after receiving the official letter, had to go through the Health Care Review Committee and receive an extension of sick leave. However, while on vacation, Seo requested an extension over the phone and got approval. This is contrary to the explanation of the Ministry of National Defense that “there is no problem since it is handled according to the instructions.”
In response, it is known that the Ministry of National Defense clarified that the official letter written at the time was incorrectly written and that Mr. Seo was not subject to the request.
Meanwhile, on the same day, members of the Judicial Commission of the National Assembly issued a statement noting that the statement of the Ministry of Defense that “ there was no need for a medical treatment detection procedure ” because Mr. Seo did not was hospitalized (when the petition license was extended) is an incorrect interpretation of the Army regulations. did.
They said: “Under military regulations, ‘the minimum period (permit petition) of 10 days must be exceeded due to diagnosis and surgery, and only those who are critically ill or who may worsen the disease when transported’ are deliberate to receive medical treatment in military hospitals, You can receive the second vacation request. ”
Seo, who received outpatient treatment at home after a relatively simple operation, is not only subject to the second petition license, and has not even received a deliberation for the medical treatment necessary for the petition holiday, so the opposition is that it is a violation of the rules.
“The interpretation of the Ministry of Defense is very arbitrary and very irresponsible and political in terms of bias for specific people,” said the people’s power. They also expressed concern that the government and ruling party would undermine the discipline and morale of the military and set a bad precedent as the government and ruling party tried to overwhelm it.
