Report and response published July 2011, CPT/Inf (2011) 20 and CPT/Inf (2011) 21 Report on the ad hoc visit to Romania in September/October 2009 and response of the Romanian authorities (conditions in social welfare and psychiatric establishments) 46. The main objective of this ad hoc visit was to review the situation of residents and patients at Nucet Medico-Social Centre and Oradea Hospital for Neurology and Psychiatry, in the light of the recommendations made by the CPT after a visit in 2006. No allegations of deliberate ill-treatment of residents/patients were received by its delegation at either establishment. Moreover, the CPT was pleased to note that since 2006, the annual mortality rate among young residents (i.e. those under 40) had significantly decreased at Nucet Medico-Social Centre. 47. A number of significant improvements, including major renovation work, were observed in both establishments. However, sanitary facilities were still dilapidated and insalubrious, in particular at Nucet, and, at Oradea, two unrenovated pavilions were in a very poor state of repair and damaged by water penetration. In addition, many residents at Nucet had not been able to go out into the establishment’s grounds for several years (due to the breakdown of the elevator and the lack of staff to assist them). In both establishments, numerous residents/patients were still required to wear uniform collective clothes (tracksuits at Nucet and pyjamas at Oradea). In their response, the Romanian authorities state that the sanitary facilities at Nucet Medico-Social Centre will be renovated as a matter of priority, and that the terrace of the unit for male residents has been adapted so as to enable residents to spend time in the open air every day. The authorities also indicate that the majority of residents at Nucet benefit from a personalised environment, but that it is not always possible to provide residents suffering from chronic mental disorders with their own clothes.
