During a control visit to the Forensic Psychiatry Unit, the observance of 17 recommendations made
during the previous regular visit to the institution in 2014 were inspected. In addition to four rejected
recommendations from the previous visit, which were repeated, eight new recommendations were
made, which were statistically included among the recommendations made during regular visits in
2016. We determined that seven recommendations had been realised and six accepted but not yet
implemented.
