Multiprofile Hospital for Active Treatment - Haskovo, and the Multiprofile Hospital Hospital for Active Treatment - Svilengrad, with which the Medical Institute with the Ministry of Interior has a contract signed. 2. Accommodation of persons seeking protection in the centres of the SAR with CM Living conditions The NPM found an overall improvement of the living conditions in part of the centres of the SAR in 2014. In all inspected locations no overcrowding was found. RC in the quarter "Voenna rampa" and the Registration and Reception Centre (RRC) in the quarter "Vrazhdebna" have undergone significant construction and assembly works associated with electric installation, plumbing, sewage and the heating system, repairs in the bedrooms and bathrooms, building heating system, fire alarm system and evacuation lighting. The bedrooms in the both centres are nice and clean, equipped with beds and lockers for personal belongings. Bathrooms are renovated and good hygiene is maintained there. In centres in the village of Banya, village of Kovachevtsi and RRC - Sofia, the NPM found no change in terms of material facilities. Bedrooms were worn and without the necessary privacy and the bathrooms were insufficient. RRC – Banya, designated for an establishment for accommodation of unaccompanied minors or juvenile must be renovated in such a way to provide a welcoming, safe and secure environment for this vulnerable group. During the visit of the NPM in RRC - Harmanli, it became clear that except from 80 pc. of bungalows provided for operation, of which only 56 are used, three additional buildings of the barracks are used as well. Plumbing and electrical installation, as well as the installation for removal of waste water from the wagons have been built. The NPM found leakage and broken pipe on the ground floor of the building where the men are accommodated which after my recommendation have been repaired. Food Organization in relation to the food in the centres of the SAR is different. Some of the centres have their own kitchen where the food is cooked on the site (RRC – Banya, transit centre – village of Pastrogor, Centre - Kovachevtsi). In the RRC in the city of Sofia the services of a parent kitchen are used. All centres have canteens where residents can eat in shifts. During the interviews with residents foreigners complaints about the quality and quantity of food provided were expressed. The NPM team underlines that the residents need to be provided with diverse, vitamin and healthy food, especially taking into account the significant number of infants, small children and pregnant women in the centres. Extremely warring for the inspection team were the identified problem with the lack of supply of infant formula for babies in the RRC - Harmanli for a period of two weeks (16-27.06.2014), which was confirmed also by the representatives of the Bulgarian Red Cross. According to the SAR this problem has been resolved after the conclusion of contracts for supply of food in September 2014. The visit of the NPM in refugee centres coincided with the Muslim religious holiday of Eid al-Adha. In the Transit Centre - Pastrogor a group of Algerian citizens said that the food is distributed at time incompatible with the holiday. On the site the inspecting team recommended that the centre's director should make additional arrangements and the time span for the distribution of food should comply with the religious traditions during holidays. 29
