- 32 60. In light of the serious staff shortcomings identified above, the CPT reiterates its recommendation that, as an initial measure, the Greek authorities urgently reinforce health care staffing levels as follows: - at Chios and Kos Prisons, ensure each prison has a daily nursing presence; - at Corfu Prison, ensure the input of the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of 0.5 general practitioners and of two FTE nurses; - at Nigrita Prison, ensure the input of the FTE of 1.5 general practitioners and reinforce significantly the qualified nursing complement to at least 6 FTE nurses; nursing staff should be present in the prison every day of the week; - at Korydallos Men’s Prison, ensure the input of the FTE of 3 general practitioners and of 12 FTE nurses, at least two of whom should have mental health work experience. At Corfu Prison, arrangements should be put in place to ensure there is a regularly input by a psychiatrist and a clinically trained psychologist. Further, the number of dental and psychiatric consultations should be increased, notably at Korydallos Men’s and Nigrita Prisons. 61. The CPT also reiterates its long-standing recommendation that prisoners should not be involved in the performance of health care tasks, and under no circumstances should they perform the dispensing of medicines and/or have access to medical records. The CPT wishes to receive a timetable for the phasing out of using prisoners for carrying out health care tasks in the establishments visited. In addition, the CPT reiterates that, in principle, prison officers should not perform medical duties. Pending the recruitment of sufficient healthcare staff, prison officers who do not possess the relevant qualifications should not carry out nursing functions. Further, any qualified prison officers working in the health care service of a prison should be under the authority of the senior doctor/nurse manager responsible for the service. The CPT would also like to receive further details about the arrangements to provide tele-medicine at Kos Prison. 62. The practice of preparing and dispensing medication was again found to be fundamentally unsafe in all the prisons visited. For example, prisoners engaged as assistant nurses were preparing and dispensing medication, including psychotropic drugs, in the wings without any presence or supervision of custodial or health care staff. The CPT reiterates its recommendation that the system of medicine dispensing and administration be reviewed in order to ensure it is both safe and accountable.
