Injury reports
§155-157 AR
2014
60. The SGIP and Catalonian Health Institute have still not adapted the injury
report form proposed by the NPM in its 2014 study entitled Injury reports on
people deprived of their liberty.

as delivery of a copy of the report to the inmate affected, e.g. at CPs in
Cuenca, Dueñas (Palencia), Jaén, León, Mas Enric (Tarragona) and CP
Teixeiro (A Coruña).

avoid situations such as the one arising in CP Araba/Álava where, although
various inmates reported injuries, which were very often included in their
medical records, there were no matching injury reports.
Identification
§158 A 2014

León, Mas Enric (Tarragona), CP Ocaña I (Toledo), Teixeiro (A Coruña) and
