96 9. Persons deprived of their liberty at the places of detention visited by the NPM Service Centre as maintainers, I requested the improvement of the working conditions and the conditions of patient care. I recommended the creation of a separate hospice unit and a separate unit for patients with dementia. I asked the head physician of the hospital department to ensure, as much as possible, that patients have at least 6 m2 of personal space in the wards, to eliminate the mixed-gender use of lavatories, and ensure that psychiatric patients receive their snacks separately from the main meals as their distorted perception of time and reality makes it difficult for them to ration their food. The hospital had made impressive efforts to engage the patients in activities and improve their condition; they maintained an exemplary relationship with the town’s civil society organizations. Nevertheless, several patients complained that they were never or were only exceptionally allowed to go outdoors from the second floor, even under supervision. Therefore I recommended that supervised activities, walks in the open air be regularly organized for in-patients receiving acute care.
