The MNZ responded that it had proposed installing a protective fence above the recreation area already in 2014; however, this was not done due to the lack of funds. The station would ensure more frequent cleaning of the relevant area; although the area cannot be cleaned completely when leaves are falling from trees on nearby land. Accessibility to police station premises When visiting PS Bled, we discovered that disabled persons cannot directly access the police station; a call bell is installed at the foot of the stairs, which is linked to the office of the duty officer, and the foot of the stairs is also under video surveillance. We thus proposed that the possibility of installing a gently sloping ramp be examined, which would enable disabled persons direct access to the entrance of the station. The MNZ replied that this proposal would be examined at the time of possible renovation in future budget periods. We proposed that PS Dravograd again introduce permanent standby duty, since they have four detention rooms; the nearest PS with such premises is PS Velenje, which is quite far from this area. The MNZ replied that the reintroduction of permanent standby duty was not anticipated at the relevant PS at the time. We also proposed that PS Dravograd examine the possibility of installing a suitable ramp which could be installed when needed (e.g. lift ramp). The MNZ replied that the option would be examined; its implementation depended on financial resources. We again proposed that PS Kranjska Gora examine the possibility of installing a ramp to enable access to the PS building also to disabled people. The MNZ replied that it was impossible to construct a ramp for the disabled due to the lack of funding. Furthermore, we proposed that PS Kranjska Gora examine the possibility of re-introducing 24-hour standby duty, since Kranjska Gora is a tourist centre. The MNZ responded that reintroducing 24-hour standby duty was not foreseen. We again proposed that PS Slovenska Bistrica install a call bell at the foot of the stairs, enabling disabled persons to inform the duty officer of their presence. The MNZ replied that the call bell had been installed at the end of May 2016 because it was impossible to construct a ramp. List of lawyers and room for discussions with lawyers When visiting PS Bled, we discovered a list of lawyers in the interview room dated 17 August 2015, which is also used for short stays of detainees. We thus proposed that the old and outdated list of lawyers be removed or a suitably updated list be displayed in the relevant room. The MNZ replied that PS had immediately printed an updated list of lawyers. 124 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
