36 Follow-up and consideration of the Special Report The Special Report on Solitary Confinement and Lack of Human Contact in Norwegian Prisons will be considered by the Storting during the spring of 2020. On 26 November 2019, the Parliamentary Ombudsman presented the findings and ­recommendations of the report to the Standing Committee on Justice as part of the preparations for the consideration in Parliament. After the submission of the Special Report in June 2019, the Parliamentary Ombudsman has worked systematically to ensure that the report's findings and recommendations are known and followed up by the responsible authorities. Meetings have been held with the heads of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the Ministry of Health and Care Services, the Directorate of Correctional Service and the Directorate of Health. Meetings have also been held with the Correctional Service trade unions, Wayback – Foundation for the Rehabilitation of Prisoners, the Organisation for Families and Friends of Prisoners, the Norwegian Medical Association and the Norwegian Nurses' Association. The organisations that are members of our advisory committee are also kept up to date about the process. The report was also presented to a broader audience at a special event during Arendalsuka in August 2019, which was streamed on our website. The Special Report to the Storting has been translated into English and shared with relevant international stakeholders.
