NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM RECOMMENDATIONS
| Year | Recommendation | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | It can be seen from the information provided for the examination of the Complaint that the Applicant, having received the answer from the Prison Service (signed by the chief doctor), which does not indicate the possible appeal procedure, did not know to whom he should complain in case he disagrees with it. It can be concluded that the Prison Service Administration did not provide accurate information about the appeal procedure in its response; therefore, the Applicant's right to appeal the decision and/or to apply for the provision (non-provision) of health care services and compensation for damages arising from personal health care relationships could be restricted. | Report details |
