39 Visits, Follow-ups and Results in 2020 Visits, Follow-ups and Results in 2020 In spring 2020, we decided to suspend all visits. Work relating to visits was nevertheless continued throughout the year. Before the pandemic caused a lockdown, we had already completed five visits, and during the year, three r­ eports were published based on these visits. In the autumn, five visits were conducted within two new sectors. We also followed up twelve ­institutions visited in 2018 and 2019. VISITS IN 2020 During 2020, visits were conducted to ten insti­ tutions.1 The number of visits was somewhat reduced due to the pandemic. In January and February 2020, the Ombudsman’s NPM visited a long-term section and an emergency section at the child welfare institution Olivia Solhaugen in Hadeland, two child and adolescent psychiatry units at St. Olav’s hospital, under the children and adolescent psychiatric clinic, Lian, and a child and adolescent psychiatry ward at Levanger Hospital. In the autumn, we conducted visits to two care homes for elderly, Høyås residential and reha­ bilitation centre in Nedre Follo municipality and Åsgårdstrand care home in Horten municipality. At Høyås, we visited a section for persons with dementia with thirty one beds and at Åsgårdstrand care home we visited three wards with twenty six residents in total.2 We also conducted three visits to three shared housing facilities for persons with intellectual disabilities in Drammen municipality. After each visit, the Ombudsman publishes a report that presents findings and recommendations to prevent torture, inhuman and degrading treatment. Below are summaries from the visit reports published after the visits conducted in the spring of 2020. Reports from visits carried out during autumn will be published in 2021. 1 In regard to visits to institutions that had sections, subunits or accommodation units that in reality functioned as differing units, the findings will often be collated into one report. This allows us to analyse findings related to management, and ensures anonymity for those we have spoken to. The 10 visits in 2020 will therefore result in six visit reports. 2 Wards 1a, 1b and 2d.
