In 2016, the three primary grounds for referring a case regarding health institutions are
procedures, access to health care and placement in solitary confinement.
Since 2010, the main primary grounds has been procedures – particularly dispute of
hospitalisation. Since 2014, the main secondary grounds for referral has been access to health care.
In 2016, all grounds taken together, the three main ones are procedures, access to health
care and placement in solitary confinement. In 2015, they were procedures, access to health care
and relations with the outside world.
It can be highlighted that the persons concerned primarily refer cases to the CGLPL about
procedures; families and relatives about relations with the outside; and physicians and medical staff
about placement in solitary confinement.
Penal institutions: Primary grounds according to the category of person referring the
case
The last column of this table lists the percentage of different grounds when the reasons for
a particular letter are considered as a whole (one letter may contain one or more reasons), rather
than the primary grounds only, as before. Accordingly, regarding transfers, although this reason
accounts for 11.22% of the primary grounds for letters received between 1 January and 30
November 2016, this percentage goes down if its positioning is considered in light of all the reasons,
when it only represents 7.45% of all difficulties brought to the CGLPL's attention in 2016. The
percentage of the second primary grounds for referral, physical conditions, further increases when
all of the reasons are looked at together, accounting for 14.71% of all the difficulties brought to the
CGLPL's attention in 2016.
