CAT/OP/NZL/1/Add.1 Youth forensic mental health services 84. Youth forensic mental health services are provided regionally by DHBs, as are adult forensic mental health services. The regional services are based in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. 85. The Ministry of Health is working with DHBs to implement a range of new youth forensic mental health services in youth courts, youth justice residences and the community. These services will include multi-disciplinary mental health teams in all four youth justice residences providing assessment, treatment and support for transition back to the community in conjunction with primary care, education and youth justice practitioners working in the residences. An additional 25 fulltime equivalent (FTE) clinicians were recruited in 2012/13, and a further 15 FTEs will be recruited by June 2015 to fully implement these new services. This will take the specialist youth forensic workforce to 75 FTEs. 86. Plans are also underway for a new 10 bed secure youth forensic in-patient unit to be opened by the end of 2015. IV. Situation of persons deprived of their liberty A. Police detention 87. The Subcommittee recommended that steps be taken to improve the quality of Police cells, with priority given to those gazetted as jails, and that national standards be developed. The Subcommittee made recommendations to improve the privacy of Police cells, including blocking peepholes in non-at-risk cells and placing monitors out of public view in the custody suite. 88. The Subcommittee also recommended that notices setting out the rights of people detained be placed where they can be easily seen, that procedures for proper record keeping be strictly adhered to and all police stations serving pre-packed frozen food make sure the contents, manufacture and expiry date are clearly labelled. Upgrading of Police cells 89. Gazetted jails are prioritised within the Police property replacement programme. Issues like ventilation, dampness and sanitary facilities will be fixed during the refurbishment or replacement process. Improving non-gazetted jails will take longer, as Police will need to consider the financial viability of such a project when compared to other priorities. Police will ensure that cleaning of custodial facilities is carried out to a uniform standard across the country and that graffiti is regularly removed. Privacy 90. Police have been working in conjunction with Corrections and Ministry of Justice under the banner of ‘Joining Forces’ to review a range of operational activities, systems, processes and facilities. A set of agreed standards for shared custodial facilities is being developed, although Police currently have national standards for custodial cells. All facilities offer a level of privacy which is balanced with the need to provide a level of security for the safety of the prisoner. 91. Police have undertaken a national cell upgrade project. While predominately focused on eliminating self-harm points, lack of privacy in facilities is being considered during upgrading. 16
