67 Visits in 2019 Recommendations from visits in 2018 After each visit, the Parliamentary Ombudsman publishes a report describing its findings with ­recommendations for how the institution can ­better prevent the occurrence of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment. We ask all the places we visit to provide written feedback on how the recommendations have been followed up after the visit. The NPM has followed up the ­recommendations made after five visits carried out in 2018. The summary of the other visits can be found in the 2018 annual report. Exceptionally, the visit to Oslo prison took place late in 2018 and is therefore summarised in this report The County Psychiatric Department, Vestfold Hospital Trust 10–12 April 2018 The Parliamentary Ombudsman's visit showed that the emergency psychiatric units, particularly a number of the segregation units, showed signs of wear and tear and were not suitable for safeguarding patients’ safety and dignity. The activity programme seemed poor, and there was very little opportunity for outdoor activities. In the follow-up letter, the hospital stated that the move to another building in 2019 would improve the physical conditions, and create more opportunities for outdoor activities for all patients. In the meantime, the hospital would ensure dignified conditions and that the patient rooms were satisfactorily cleaned and maintained. The County Psychiatric Department, Vestfold Hospital Trust
