3. Youth care centres 3.1. Introduction In 2016, the representatives of the NMPT visited 11 youth care centres60. Four of the visits were ad hoc visits61, and one establishment was reinspected62. The NMPT also started a series of thematic visits to youth care centres to analyse the issue of access of their juvenile residents to health care services in the areas of psychiatric care and addiction treatment. In 2016, 6 thematic visits were conducted63. The materials collected during the visits will be used to draw up a thematic report analysing the health care system used for juvenile residents in those areas as well as possible recommendations for the competent authorities. In addition to conducting the above mentioned visits, the NMPT also monitors preparatory proceedings concerning physical and mental abuse of two juvenile residents by youth care centre staff members64. When the proceedings are closed and judgments are issued, an analysis will be carried out of actions taken in those cases by relevant institutions and of the systemic solutions aimed to eliminate the risk of inhuman treatment in the future. 60 YCCs in: Marszew, Rejowiec (two visits), Augustów, Różanystok, Kolonia Szczerbacka, Mszana Dolna, Kolonia Ossa, Leśnica, Wałbrzych and Gostchorz. 61 YCCs in: Rejowiec (two visits), Różanystok and Kolonia Szczerbacka. 62 YCC in Różanystok. 63 YCCs in: Pogroszyn, Warsaw (ul.
