- 64 150. The CPT was pleased to note that all the patients received an introductory brochure setting out the rights of the patients. The brochure included a form for patients to lodge complaints which could be deposited in a box located at the entrance to the hospital. At the time of the visit the leaflet was only available in Greek but, apparently, English and Albanian versions were under preparation; however, it was not available on all the wards. It appeared that patients lodged few complaints and, hence, the Committee for the Control of Patients Rights rarely met to consider them. Given the specific population of the hospital (consisting essentially of elderly, sometimes, illiterate patients), the Committee could take a more proactive stance by, for instance, carrying out ex officio enquiries. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities ensure that all patients in Corfu Psychiatric Hospital have access to complaints forms in a language they understand, and that the Committee for the Control of Patients Rights be encouraged to take a more proactive approach to their role, inter alia by carrying out on-site visits to the hospital at their own initiative. 6. Other issues related to the mandate of the CPT 151. The CPT’s delegation was informed that when a person is to be involuntarily hospitalised under Law 2071/92 the transfer of the person in question to the relevant psychiatric hospital is carried out by the Hellenic Police Force. The delegation heard various concerns relating to the transport of involuntary patients to psychiatric hospitals by police officers. The long journeys often took place in police vehicles, with the officers having little training on how to deal with patients who were, at times, agitated or violent. On a positive note, the delegation was informed about recent training courses for police officers organised under the auspices of the Hellenic Psychiatric Association, which have apparently led to police officers having a greater understanding for patients with mental disorders. In this respect, a number of health care staff informed the delegation that they had noted a growing awareness and expertise within the Hellenic Police Force as regards mentally ill persons. The transport of involuntary patients to a psychiatric hospital should be the responsibility of suitably trained personnel and take place in an appropriately equipped vehicle. Understanding of a patient's mental disorder, combined with professional training to address potential emergencies, contribute to ensuring that transfers to psychiatric hospitals are carried out safely. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities pursue such training courses and ensure that all persons responsible for the transport of patients in need of involuntary hospitalisation receive appropriate training.
