the same or other type is made by the director of the department, within 20 working days from the moment of transfer of the decision about the risk of danger posed by the multidisciplinary team. It is worth noting that according to the draft order, doctors cannot be members of the groups that do initial examinations or multidisciplinary teams. Inclusion of doctors is essential, because health state of the convict should be taken into account when transferring the convict from one to another establishment, especially if the convict is transferred to the closed or special risk facility. The decision about such transfers should be made based on the assessment by the doctor of the health state of the convict. Based on the above said, the chief doctor of the establishment should be a member of the group of initial examination. The Head of the Medical Department or other authorized person should be added to the multidisciplinary team. As the alternative, it is possible to specify the obligation to request information about the health state of the convict in the process of assessing the risk. The multidisciplinary team should take into account the health state of the convict in making the final decision about risk of danger and in recommending the transfer to the type of establishment. RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONS OF GEORGIA: • Change the Rules of assessment and re-assessment of risk of the convict, types of risks and criteria for assessing risks so as to: • Introduce an obligation of the penitentiary establishment or penitentiary department to inform a convict about initiation of the process of assessing the risk of danger by a multidisciplinary team. In addition, the convict should have the right to submit additional documentation to the multidisciplinary team at any stage of examination, if he/she considers that this will lead to a desirable decision. • Make a chief doctor of the establishment a member of the group for initial examination of information and head of the medical department or other authorized person a member of the multidisciplinary team. Alternatively, the obligation to request information about the health state of the convict in the course assessing the risk of danger may be introduced. • Ensure that the multidisciplinary team takes into account the health state of the convict in making a final decision about the type of risk of danger of the convict. And in recommending the transfer to the establishment of a certain type. 38 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM (NPM), 2015
