1.  During 2015, 62 visits were made to deprivation of liberty facilities. Of said visits, 17 involved the participation of external experts in medicine, forensic medicine, psychiatry and psychology (‘multidisciplinary visits’), and 34 were follow-up visits for the purposes of checking if the competent administration had incorporated the suggested changes or recommendations made by the NPM since its last visit, as well as to detect new shortcomings. The Ombudsman herself took part in 7 visits. The spokespeople of the NPM Advisory Council took part in 11 visits, and 8 visits involved the participation of members of the Regional Ombudsman Offices (Andalusia, Catalonia, Aragon, Valencia, Castile and León and Navarre). Three of the visits took place in the company of foreign delegations. Specifically, two with the Philippine Commission on Human Rights and one with the NPM of the Czech Republic. All visits were unannounced, with the exception of the three visits involving foreign delegations, and the foreign national deportation operations which included the flight, for reasons of security demanded by the airport authorities. 2.  All resolutions brought forward and conclusions reached following each visit can be consulted in Annex II of this report. In addition, Annex III compiles the follow-up made to the conclusions of visits carried out in previous years, for those matters to which the competent administrations had not provided an answer. This report will make mention of the most important matters observed in the visits made during 2015, referring to the paragraphs which correspond to the Minimum criteria in deprivation of liberty in the 2014 Annual Report and in other Annual Reports of the NPM. The paragraphs corresponding to the aforementioned minimum criteria are highlighted in the margins, according to the 2014 Annual Report as well as paragraphs in previous years’ reports which refer to these same matters. 19
