In addition, I recommend that all stakeholders (Mental
Health Services, Ministry of Health, Department of Public
Works) examine and take all the necessary measures to
address the issue of the remote location of the patient
wards from the staff area.
Reinforcement of the staffing in patient wards in the
evening hours.
Providing continuous training of the staff and ensuring a
decent work environment in order to avoid the adverse
consequences of performing the difficult task of caring for
the mentally ill.
On 21 October 2019, the Commissioner, in her capacity as the
NPM, submitted a report to the Minister of Health, as the
competent authority, pursuant to article 9 of L. 2(111)/2009,
expressing her concerns and urging the Minister to take action
on the basis of the recommendations contained therein. The
report was also forwarded to the Head of the Mental Health
Services for her information and actions (File No. NPM 3.02).
