the patient to the hospital, an ambulance is called for ensuring the patient’s transportation to a psychiatric facility. However, on-site medication treatment is also available.374 The Public Defender positively assesses the implementation of the recommendation on arranging a recreation room in the center and equipping it with the necessary recreational means. As revealed during the visit of the Special Prevention Group, in 2020, another recreation room has been arranged in the "A" block (there are currently 2 such recreation rooms in the "A" block) equipped with a TV and chess. The Public Defender’s recommendation on ensuring the persons placed in the center to spend the maximum time in the fresh air during the day and equipping the yard with exercise equipment, was partially implemented. During the visit of the Special Prevention Group, two walking yards were under construction in the center (for "A" and "B" blocks), in fact, the yard fencing and roofing works were at the final stage. The internal works in the walking yards had not started yet, however, according to the information received from the administration during the visit, the project envisages arranging exercise equipment and chairs in the yards. In the report following the Ad-hoc monitoring to the Temporary Accommodation Center for Migrants on 7 May 2020, the Public Defender of Georgia issued two recommendations which related to the conduct of periodic survey of the persons placed in the center when compiling the food menu and creating the possibility of substituting products, with maximum consideration of their desires and religious-cultural peculiarities. According to the information received from the Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, with regard to the status of implementation of these recommendations, persons placed in the center are provided with information by the relevant unit of the department on the products included in the ration and the possibility of replacing the products in the ration with other relatively same products. At the request of a foreigner placed in the center, different food menu is compiled taking into account the religious and cultural peculiarities of that person. Considering the caloric norms, meat and cereals are substituted by other relatively same products, for instance, meat is substituted with fish, buckwheat with rice, etc.375 It should be noted that during the visit to the Temporary Accommodation Center of the Migration Department on 18 February 2021, none of the individuals interviewed by the Special Prevention Group knew whether it was possible to substitute the products on the food menu with other relatively same products. During the visit, the representatives of the administration explained to the Special Prevention Group that the staff orally provided this information to the persons placed in the center and no document was compiled. Consequently, the Public Defender is currently unable to assess the implementation of these recommendations as the Special Prevention Group received substantially conflicting information from the administration and persons placed in the center and was unable to verify it through other sources (e.g. by reviewing the documentation). The Public Defender considers that it is important to determine the nutritional needs of the persons upon their placement in the center and they should be informed about the products included in the daily ration and On the basis of a consultation issued by a psychiatrist, it is possible to apply to the Medical Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide with the prescribed medication. 375 Letter 7 20 02758215 of MIA received on 26 November 2020 in response to the letter №03-4/11357 of the Public Defender’s Office dated 13 November 2020 374 112
