51 records and adequate medical resources, more regular checkups with specialist doctors and psychological support to persons deprived of their liberty. However, there is still a number of shortcomings with respect to the health care provided in the institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions: the institutions have insufficient number of medical staff, both general practitioners and specialists, including medical technicians; many institutions have no continuing presence of staff having medical qualifications, due to which the therapy is being administered by a non-medical staff; persons with mental disorders are placed in regular prison regime that is inadequate for providing medical care and psychological and social treatment; problems have been identified with providing the required medications and medical aids; certain institutions do not provide confidentiality of medical examinations and data about the health condition of persons deprived of liberty; health care services of the institution are still the organizational units of the institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions instead of having the health care of institutions provided by the Ministry of Health or as an interim solution, to have the health care services within the institutions become a part of a unique organizational function in the central office of the Administration. Although the Ministry of Health generally provides no regular oversight of the work of health services in institutions, during the reporting period, this Ministry conducted the professional oversight over the work of the health care service in DP Smederevo, acting upon the NPM recommendation. This case has shown the significance of such monitoring practise. Among other, the compliance with the requirements for performing specific health care activities at the Outpatient Center was determined, including for the work of the General Practitioner’s office, and in order to improve its health care practise, the Institution signed the contracts with the general hospital in Smederevo. During the visit to DP Smederevo, it was established that the convicts being under special regime of intensified surveillance, are placed in the dormitories used for regular accommodation and that other convicts who are not subjected to these measures are placed in the same dormitories with them. In acting upon the NPM recommendation, the Department corrected this irregularity. After having received the NPM recommendations, the DP Subotica governor, issued orders to the competent organizational units of the Institution, to rectify these shortcomings and among other, to provide to the prisoners the professional legal assistance with the disciplinary procedure and adequately define the goals within the treatment program to enable the foreigners deprived of their liberty to make telephone calls abroad. NPM recommended to PCI Belgrade to enable the convicts to spend the available time during the day outside the dormitories, in the common living room area, together with other convicts. The institution notified the NPM of the steps taken to provide funding for forming the space for the living rooms and that they would immediately initiate the conversion of designation of certain large office areas that will be used for this purpose. Despite the improvements regarding the work engagement of persons deprived of liberty at the institutions for enforcement of criminal sanctions, there is still a large number of them who do not work and are not involved in any other activities.
