expressed in para 21 of the Updated Action Plan relating to “adequate standards for long-term detention”. 60. Furthermore, pre-removal detention centres are marred by critical gaps in health care and support to detained people, as corroborated by the official data provided in para 23 of the Updated Action Plan. The Greek government confirms, for example, that: ▪ Not a single doctor is present in either Amygdaleza or Corinth, the two largest pre-removal centres which at the end of April 2023 accounted for 950 and 655 detainees respectively. Of those, 227 and 418 respectively were asylum seekers. No doctor is present in Xanthi, where 189 people were held at that point. ▪ Interpretation is not at all available in Tavros, Drama, Xanthi and Fylakio, and is grossly insufficient to cover the needs of the detained population in Amygdaleza and Corinth. 18 RSA COMMENTS│ 2023
