110 15. Summary With a view to the tasks of the NPM, in my reports on the inspections, I recommend taking measures aimed at terminating and preventing the recurrence of the ill-treatment of persons deprived of their liberty. In 2016, I took measures on 239 occasions. I made recommendations in 144 cases to the heads of the places of detention,237 in 70 cases to the heads of the supervisory organ of the institution subject to inquiry,238 and on one occasion to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (hereinafter the “NAIH”).239 In 2016, I recommended measures relative to the legal regulation on 24 occasions.240 Recommendations made when performing the tasks of the NPM by addressees 2016 Legal regulation 24 President of the NAIH 1 0% 10% 29% 60% Supervisory organ 70 Places of detention 144 In the second year of the NPM’s operation, the addressees of these measures studied my recommendations and responded on their merits within the statutory deadline. If formulating their position or implementing my recommendation seemed impossible within the deadline stipulated in the relevant provision of the Ombudsman Act, the addressees notified me thereof before the deadline and requested its prolongation. The authorities’ responses to my recommendations prove that the heads of both the institutions subject to inquiries and their supervisory organs tackled those recommendations in a meaningful manner and demonstrated a willingness to implement them. The conclusion above was confirmed by my follow-up inquiry conducted in the Juvenile Penitentiary Institution, aimed at checking the implementation of my recommendations made in 2015. The NPM’s operational costs in 2016 amounted to 69,760,490 Forints; this amount was allocated by my Office from its budget provided by the Parliament. 237 238 239 240 See Section 32, Subsection (1) of the Ombudsman Act.
