§336 AR 2014

review long-term admissions, seeking systems for partial admissions, testing and others, which enable an assessment to be made of the possible
community reintegration of the patient when this becomes clinically acceptable, in accordance with the Principles of the United Nations for the
protection of persons with mental illness and the improvement of mental
health care of December 19th 1991.
More normalised communal
living between both sexes

for patients in this centre to maintain more normalised communal living
between both sexes (with possible risk situations being avoided). This
would result in better emotional development, in accordance with the
aforementioned UN Principles for the protection of persons with mental
illness and the improvement of mental health care of December 19th 1991
(Principle 13).
Installations
