ANNUAL SPECIAL REPORT 2018 37 ii. Implications of criminal conviction The Centre for Social Welfare of the Region of Central Macedonia rejected a request from a former detainee for care in the Chronic Disease Sector, on the grounds of his criminal record, which the Office had sought out of its own internally. The Ombudsman pointed out that the ex officio search for this purpose is not based on law and that the registration of a conviction in the criminal record is not a legitimate reason for rejection of the request, especially when it is stated that all the legal consequences of that conviction have been removed. Restricting access to health services due to a criminal record is discriminatory, and any risk concerns should be accompanied by an individualised assessment of his/her personality along with his/her health problems. In response, the above service undertook to re-examine the application. 2.f.
