- 25 41. In these circumstances, the CPT feels it necessary to reiterate that requests to see a doctor must be promptly met; law enforcement officials should not seek to filter such requests. It should also be recalled that all medical examinations of persons in police custody should be conducted out of the hearing and, unless the doctor concerned requests otherwise in a specific case, out of the sight of police officers, and that the results of every examination, as well as relevant statements by the detained person and the doctor's conclusions, should be formally recorded by the doctor and made available on request to the detainee and his/her lawyer. Further, medication should be provided free of charge to detained persons who do not have the resources to pay for it themselves. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities review the existing arrangements concerning access to a doctor and the provision of health care for persons held in police stations, in light of the above remarks. e. information on rights 42. Information sheets setting out the rights of detained persons exist in a range of languages; however, there were many instances of detainees in police stations claiming they had never seen such a sheet. The Greek authorities are invited to remind police officers that such sheets should systematically be given to all persons deprived of their liberty at the very outset of custody. Further, as regards irregular migrants the delegation received a number of complaints that the slips of paper that persons had to sign acknowledging they had been informed of their rights were only provided in Greek. In addition, in the border guard stations visited, particularly Iasmos and Soufli, the delegation heard allegations that detained persons were either coerced physically or threatened with ill-treatment in order to ensure the slips were signed. Such behaviour would be unacceptable. The CPT recommends the Greek authorities take the necessary measures to ensure that any such practice is ended, and that the information sheets and receipts exist in sufficient quantities in the relevant languages. f. custody records 43. The findings of the delegation in 2005 mirror those of previous visits. The information kept in the existing registers tended to be superficial and, frequently, incomplete or inexact. The introduction of an individualised custody record would not only reinforce the practical application of the fundamental safeguards afforded persons in custody but also facilitate the work of the police.
