Coordination Conference on Correctional Services The new Commission Chair introduced herself in August at a meeting of the Swiss Coordination Conference on Correctional Services and presented the Commission’s current priority topics to the three General Secretaries, the representative of the General Secretariat of the CCJPD, the Swiss Conference of Heads of Correctional Services, the Swiss Competence Centre for the Execution of Criminal Penalties and the Federal Office of Justice. The Coordination Conference pointed out that it would take time to implement Commission recommendations, especially in the area of health care, as these would have to be incorporated into the legal bases of the corresponding intercantonal agreements. Those who attended the meeting agreed on the need for greater cooperation in order to avoid duplication of efforts in priority areas and to enable available resources to be used in a more targeted manner. b.
