Geographical location of HPPs visited in 2013
148. The UHPP-C functions for all purposes as a hospital centre within a
CP and it is the healthcare personnel who make key decisions in respect
of the patients, including their transfer between the various units of the network. The HPP of Seville, however, has an organisation structure similar
to that of ordinary CPs and psychiatrists have solely a clinical role. Accordingly, a Recommendation has been made to the SGIP for them to adopt
the measures necessary to provide the organisation structure of the HPPs
of Fontcalent (Alacant/Alicante) and Seville with a more healthcare nature,
for them to be similar to hospital institutions.

149. At the time of the visit, the HPP of Seville had 180 patients.
Suggestion on excessive
occupancy at the HPP of
Seville
According to the information provided, the average population of the
centre is 182 patients and, although it formally has 184 places, it is an
area initially designed for 120, making the handling of patients more
difficult. The SGIP reported that one of the factors causing such excess occupancy is the scarce external resources provided to continue
healthcare and the existing difficulties to refer patients to autonomic
social healthcare resources, in addition to the fact that the court criterion of custody and release prevails. Accordingly, a suggestion was
made to the SGIP for strategies to be considered to correct the current
situation of excessive occupancy.
