2016 REPORT ON NATIONAL PREVENTION OF TORTURE specified in the technological cards of dishes. The administration of the institution will enhance measures to implement these controls. 4. Concerning the lack of privacy for female patients. In the special observation unit for women and children, the patients are not divided into isolated sectors, leading to the absence of differentiation of their right to privacy in the wards with account of the observation conditions defined by the court. Privacy in the wards is not ensured: the ward doors have windows in them and all people passing by, i.e. not only the personnel but also other patients can watch women through them unrestrictedly. However, hanging up curtains, for example, would render the guarantee of the patients’ security more difficult. No violations of privacy when using the sanitary facilities have been identified: the windows in the doors of the sanitary facilities are covered, and the doors can be locked safely. With a view to improving the women’s treatment conditions at the institution and also ensure the rights provided for them in the laws, the hospital administration has applied for funds for the construction of a new unit. 5. Concerning the overcrowded wards (with four or five patients). It has been established that the wards with five beds are currently under repair in order to ensure the requirements of the hygiene standard. 6. Concerning the possibility to use the courtyard and the comments that patients spend most of their time in lockable wards. It has been found that in Unit B the treatment is conducted under the conditions of strict supervision and the patients get special attention for the purpose of avoiding escapes and/or protecting them and other persons from other unpredictable actions. Therefore these patients are walked outside in small groups (of not more than 10 persons) and only when escorted by a nurse and a security guard (one patient must be escorted by one security guard and two patients by two security guards). With a view to ensuring a longer daily stay of the Unit B patients outdoors, the number of security guards should be enlarged, but the institution has no additional resources for that at the moment. The long time that the patients spend in the wards is also related to the shortage of the personnel. The hospital director has promised to review the employees’ work schedules and functions again in order to solve these questions. 7. Concerning the patients’ participation in psychosocial rehabilitation activities. Psychosocial rehabilitation activities are constantly organised for the patients, except those in the strict and enhanced observation units. The employees devote sufficient attention to the engagement of the patients in these activities, and constantly urge them to do that. The psychologist who participated in the visit at the institution has noted, however, that the scope of the psychological services is inadequate, and that the psychosocial rehabilitation and other psychological or social services should be provided to all patients, including those in the strict and enhanced observation units. 25
