Situation of deprivation of liberty
the usual medicines can probably not be ensured. The SGIP reported
that, in the most serious cases, in which the medical services do not
advise an ordinary transfer, the transfer in a special and direct move is
requested, although according to the data sent this kind of transfers is
ordered only by exception. In the opinion of this Institution, it would be
more adequate for the medical practitioner, before the manner in which
the person is to be moved is decided, to report whether, if the transfer
is carried out in the ordinary manner in a regular transportation –of the
specific conditions of which he should be aware: number of hours of
each journey, nights stayed at CPs and total duration of transportation– this could have effects on the state and evolution of the patient,
taking into account his pathology, his past and current state, the risk
of alterations in the taking of medicine and other circumstances of
interest, to be able to assess with such information more adequately
whether it is advisable to transfer the person in question in a special
manner, to safeguard the patients’ health.
