FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers illness or with mental disorders. Likewise, the need to pay specific attention to the situation of vulnerable persons should not be limited to the situations expressly referred to by the Return Directive (during the period of voluntary Removal, during postponed return and during detention). The Commission therefore recommends that Member States should pay attention to the needs of vulnerable persons in all stages of the return procedure”. ΙΙ. Findings It is obvious that detention is a particularly burdensome measure for people who face health problems/disabilities. Not only it does not facilitate the treatment of their problems, but it is also likely to worsen them. Therefore, to the extent that, according to the legislation, detention is a last resort measure, it is obvious that it should be avoided for those with health/disability problems as the Member States should apply alternatives to detention in their case. From the above international, European or national laws, it is concluded that: • Member States should ensure the protection of health both in terms of prevention and in terms of treating health problems. • Detention of irregular immigrants and asylum seekers is an exceptional measure applicable only if in a particular case other adequate and less restrictive measures cannot be effectively implemented. The combination of the above sets out a framework which should be part of the treatment of irregular immigrants and asylum seekers who face health/disability problems. Furthermore, the material conditions of detention in our country diverge significantly from the provisions in the legislation and the international standards. Among other issues, severe problems are observed regarding food, heating, hygiene and healthcare. It is obvious that these conditions aggravate the situation of the detainees with health problems. 50
