Situation of deprivation of liberty Chart 6 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. Various organisational structures 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. 117
