81 propose that the Parliament debate the matter before the annual report is put on its agenda. Parliament shall decide on whether to put the matter on the agenda. The inspected authorities and/or their supervisory organs responded on the substance of the recommendation made in my reports prepared in 2017, and the NPM’s visits did not find any violation of the law that would have prompted me to turn to Parliament. I maintain a dialog with the addressees of my measures mainly in writing, involving, as necessary, the supervisory organs, as well. There is no legal obstacle to hold oral consultations within the framework of the dialog. During the constructive talks held on January 17, 2017, with the participation of the representatives of my Office, the Ministry of Interior. the Ministry of Human Capacities, the Hungarian Prison Service Headquarters, and the Office of the Prosecutor General, my colleagues explained in detail the reasons for amending the legal regulations on conducting body search in penitentiary institutions. 236 Acting on my recommendation made in the report on the visit to the Forensic Psychiatric and Mental Institution, the Minister of Justice set up an inter-professional working group, with the participation of my colleagues authorized to perform tasks related to the NPM, for reviewing and redressing the systemic problems of compulsory treatment. The working group had two meetings in 2017.237 Another form of dialog is the follow-up visits, in the course of which I try to check the recommendations made in the report on the previous visit, as well as to re-examine the most problematic fields. Follow-up visits provide an opportunity to discuss the findings of the previous visit and, in their light, the practical implementation of my measures with the personnel of the places of detention. In 2017, while performing the tasks of the NPM, I made a follow-up visit to the Platán Integrated Social Institution of Bács-Kiskun County.238 The civil suit brought in connection with certain conclusions of my report on the visit to the Cseppkő Children’s Home, for damaging the reputation of the Children’s Home, is another form of the dialog between the NPM and the place of detention.239 Court proceedings were still underway on December 31, 2017. The NPM’s operational costs in 2017 amounted to 76,217,024 Forints; this amount was allocated by my Office from its budget provided by the Parliament. The Subcommittee on Prevention paid a regular visit to Hungary between March 21 and 30, 2017; on the first working day of their visit, the delegation visited my Office. During the visit, the delegation met with the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights performing the tasks of the NPM, the staff members of the Department, and the representatives of the CCB’s member organizations. The report prepared by the Subcommittee on Prevention for the National Preventive Mechanism arrived at my Office on December 8, 2017, with the request to send back my response to its conclusions and recommendation before June 7, 2018. 240 The report was published on the NPM’s website.241 See the part on the law amendment recommended in my report on the visit to the Somogy County Remand Prison in chapter “Dialog about the measures taken by the NPM” 237 See the part on the establishment of an inter-professional working group for handling the systemic problems of compulsory treatment in chapter “Dialog about the measures taken by the NPM” 238 For the major findings of the follow-up visit, see Chapter “Persons deprived of their liberty at the places of detention visited by the NPM” 239 See the part on the Cseppkő Children’s Home in chapter “Dialog about the measures taken by the NPM” 240 The Subcommittee’s report № CAT/OP/HUN/R.2. is filed in my Office under № AJB-791/2018.
