The Public Defender’s 2013 Report to the Parliament has described how the electronic database governing medical referrals functions. The Report has emphasized that the functioning of the database was not regulated by a normative act and the Order of the Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance no. 38 dated 10 March 2011 was outdated. Accordingly, the Public Defender recommended the Minister of Corrections to cancel the abovementioned Order and to approve new regulations governing medical referrals.
