-4Preface
The salient aspects of the CPT's activities during 1992 are summarised in this report. The report
contains little concerning the procedural and organisational framework for the conduct of visits. The
CPT's Rules of Procedure have not been amended since September 1991. More generally, the working
methods established by the Committee at the outset of its activities have proved their worth. The
detailed description of these matters set out in the 1st General Report (cf. CPT (91) 3) remains valid.
In its 2nd General Report (cf. CPT/Inf (92) 3), the CPT made reference to some issues relating
to police custody of criminal suspects and imprisonment to which it pays attention when carrying out
visits. In the present report, the Committee explores in greater depth the question of health care services
in prisons. As was the case concerning the CPT's earlier remarks on police custody and imprisonment,
the Committee would welcome comments on this "substantive" section of the General Report.
