I.2.1 Foreign National Detention Centres 6 CIE visits 27. Over 2016, 6 visits were made to Foreign National Detention Centres (CIE) in Barcelona (2), Madrid, Murcia (2) and Valencia. To note is that the first visit made to the Barcelona CIE, which was closed, was to check progress in the works that are currently underway and the scheduled improvements. Our visit to the Madrid CIE, along with technicians belonging to the Migrations and Equal Treatment department, was more reactive. The outcome of this visit is reflected in pages 264-265 of the 2016 Ombudsman Annual Report. Psychological and 28.

The medical services of the visited CIEs do not complete tests on their inmates, upon arrival, to detect any infectious/catching illnesses or to adopt measures in order to guarantee the health of centre residents. As a result, we have continued to insist on our recommendation made on the matter and forwarded to the DGP. 32. It has still been observed in our visits that not all medical services use the interpreters made available by the Ministry of the Interior, for doctor’s visits, in order to ensure the absence of language barriers. Nevertheless, during our second visit to the Murcia CIE, it was verified that the medical services request interpreters from SEPROTEC in doctor’s visits, if the inmate is unable to communicate with the doctor. 33.
