- 51 The CPT reiterates its recommendation that the Greek authorities ensure that every newly-arrived prisoner be properly interviewed and physically examined by a doctor or a fully-qualified nurse reporting to a doctor within 24 hours of admission, and that the results be diligently noted in the prisoner’s personal medical record. 84. As regards the screening of injuries, the CPT has repeatedly stressed the important role that health-care staff can play in the prevention of ill-treatment through the diligent and accurate recording of injuries. To this end the CPT has described in detail what the record drawn up after the medical examination of a prisoner – whether newly arrived or following a violent incident in the prison – should contain.56 In response to the CPT’s 2013 visit report, the Greek authorities stated that they would prepare instructions to this effect. Regrettably, at the time of the 2015 visit, there was still no standard practice for the recording of injuries and the delegation observed that the entries in the trauma registers and in the personal medical files were generally scant. Moreover, there were no procedures in place for doctors to report allegations of ill-treatment by police officers to the competent prosecutor. The CPT reiterates its recommendation that the Greek authorities put in place standard procedures for the recording of injuries, in accordance with the Committee’s standards. 85. Medical confidentiality remains a serious concern at Korydallos Men’s Prison where the situation has not improved since 2013. At Alikarnassos, Corinth and Nafplio Prisons medical consultations always took place in the presence of prison staff (in addition to those prison officers working as nursing orderlies). Only at Diavata Prison was medical confidentiality again respected. The CPT reiterates its recommendation that the necessary steps be taken to guarantee medical confidentiality in all prisons. 86. The treatment of HIV-positive prisoners in Greece has been raised in previous reports. In its 2013 visit report, the CPT made it clear that there is no public health justification for segregating prisoners solely because of their HIV status. Nevertheless, given the situation in Greek prisons in 2013, with severe overcrowding, poor material and hygienic conditions, lack of medical confidentiality and high levels of prejudice against people living with HIV, the CPT stated at the time that it might be tolerable for HIV-positive prisoners to be accommodated separately, as long as this accommodation offers conditions conducive to their health and well-being. The Greek authorities responded that their intention was to use one of the wings in Korydallos Women’s Remand Prison for HIV-positive prisoners. However, until November 2014, all HIV positive prisoners continued to be held in squalid and cramped conditions in Korydallos Prison Hospital. 56 See CPT/Inf (2014) 46, paragraph 127.
