Long-term deprivation of liberty Surroundings of the Balcó de la Safor therapeutic centre (Valencia) Underage patients 171. If an underage patient visits the Emergency Room of Nuestra Señora de la Montaña (Cáceres) and is awaiting psychiatric commitment, or this is not indicated but the minor needs to remain under observation, the patient is left in the general emergency room with other adult patients, without having a specific place assigned. The hospital does not have a paediatrics unit, which is located in San Pedro Alcántara Hospital. Despite the measures adopted by Nuestra Señora de la Montaña Hospital (single room with video surveillance in the unit and permanent presence of a relative), these areas are not suitable for the accommodation of children/young people. This is why we consider that a protocol should be drawn up to cover these situations, avoiding the committal of paediatric patients to mental health units, or their extended stay in emergency rooms. Good 172. Finally, the examples of good practice observed include good coordination and coordination amongst the professionals who work at the visited facilities, as computerised well as between the facilities and other hospitals or units, where appropriate, health records and digital health records at all facilities. 107
