10.3. The authorities’ responses to the major measures taken by the NPM
mander, rather than in an open wooden box. I was informed by the head of
the National Police Headquarters that National Police Headquarters order No.
3/2015. (II. 20.) ORFK on the Holding Facility Rules for the Police (hereinafter
Holding Facility Rules) was complemented by a provision on the opening of
envelopes containing medical opinions with effect from July 1, 2018.241
Since the lack of different life-saving devices and other medical aids, as
well as single-use antiseptic safety gloves, and the deficient equipment of
the doctor ’s office jeopardised both the health care services provided to
the detainees and the health of the health care staff, I asked the head of the
holding facility of the Fejér County Police Headquarters to ensure the necessary devices and equipment. I was informed by the head of the holding
facility of the Fejér County Police Headquarters that some of the procurement had already taken place, and a public procurement procedure was
launched for obtaining a separate, standard emergency tray, a respiratory
balloon and an ECG device. In addition to this, the lighting of the doctor ’s
office was also repaired.
Regarding my initiatives concerning the catering provided to the detainees,
I was informed by the head of the holding facility of the Fejér County Police
Headquarters that he had taken measures to ensure the cleaning of the dishes
and equipment used at the Holding Facility with antibacterial and antifungal
disinfectants, the storage of dinner pails in line with the relevant requirement,
as well as the use of a special vehicle applied exclusively for food transportation. In addition to this, he requested the head of the Central Transdanubian
Remand Prison responsible for providing catering services to the detainees at
the Holding Facility to indicate those substances that cause allergies and intolerance in the menus that are part of the weekly catering plan.
No safety belts were installed on the seats for the detainees of the prison
van, which jeopardised the physical integrity of the detainees. I asked the
head of the holding facility of the Fejér County Police Headquarters to remedy the situation, who informed me that he had taken care of getting the
safety belts installed.
In order to improve the unfavourable work conditions of the staff, the
head of the holding facility of the Fejér County Police Headquarters took
care of the replacement of the furniture in the dining and recreational room
241
Holding Facility Rules, Section 51/B: “In addition to the public prosecutor supervising the legality
of law enforcement, it is the head of the investigatory body acting in the case of the detainee, the case
officer, as well as the prison warden and the guard commander who are authorised to open the envelopes
that contain the medical opinions at the holding facility. The defence attorney appointed or authorised
to act on behalf of the detainee may review the medical opinions in the closed envelope, and they may
also request a copy based on the written authorisation of the detainee. Regarding the opening of the
closed envelope, records should be maintained on a separate registration sheet attached to the order, as
specified in Annex 29, and this should be handled together with the documents of the case in question.”
