1.2 Control visit to the Aliens Centre The explanation of the Ministry of the Interior that all foreigners are examined by a doctor when accommodated or on the first working day, was examined once again in the medical consulting room in the AC during the control visit. In the interview with two nurses and in the presence of the Head of the Centre, we randomly selected a few cases of admittance of foreigners and examined, when they were actually medically examined. We reached a conclusion that two foreigners had still not been examined by a doctor, one foreigner, however, had been examined only half a month after his admittance. According to that, the NPM highlighted once again that all foreigners should be medically examined by a doctor upon his/her admittance into the AC, pursuant to Article 3 of the Rules. This examination is after all in the interest of the AC. Therefore it was proposed by the NPM once again that the AC implements the provision of Article 3 of the Rules on Procedure for Accommodation in the CA and on Format and Content of the Identity Card for Permission to Stay on the Territory of the Republic of Slovenia in which a medical examination of a foreigner upon his/her admittance into the centre is defined in detail. The NPM also expects that foreigners will actually be examined in the future, as it was explained in the response report. In a response to the recommendation by the NPM, the AC explained that in the period during the last visit and the control visit, the NPM established on its own that some foreigners refuse preventive medical examinations and it already looked for solutions, how to make foreigners to undergo medical examination voluntarily. The Head of the Centre together with the medical service informed the NPM about that during the control visit and asked the NPM, how to solve this problem, which, however, does not occur often. The findings of the NPM along randomly selected cases concerning admittance of foreigners were, according to the AC, to be expected. The AC assured that it implements Article 3 of the Rules mentioned above.
