NATIONAL LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK CONCERNING DEFENDANTS AND PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 87 defence counsel, the victim, his or her representative and the public prosecutor about the proceedings for the extension, modification or revocation of the compulsory medical measure, and the place and time of the hearing.109 The burden of proof lies with the medical board that has to provide proof of the health state. The Code doesn't ensure a right to ask for a review, but a person can appeal the decision to continue the measures. The judge shall have the right to require the attendance at the hearing of a person whose compulsory medical measure is being extended, varied or revoked, provided that, according to the opinion of the medical board, the nature of his illness does not preclude it. If the person is declared cured by a medical board, the court decides whether to revoke the coercive medical measure and whether to refer the case for pre-trial investigation or to refer the case to the courts for a general trial, or whether to send the person to continue serving the sentence.110 The time spent in a healthcare facility shall be counted towards the period of detention and sentence. Since the court reviews the measures every six months, the Code of Criminal Procedure does not provide for the right of a person who has been subjected to compulsory medical measures to apply for a review of the decision or for the revocation of the compulsory medical measures.
