with the Court's judgment in the instant case. With regard to measures for which

medical care and/or psychological treatment for former inmates injured in the
fires and psychological care for family members of deceased and injured
inmates, national health authorities have had difficulties identifying victims and
next of kin who receive services in the different health institutions because they
themselves do not use the identification documents provided by the State to
exempt them from payment of fees for medical and psychological services.

program for former inmates of the Institute, the Ministry of Education and
Culture has implemented vocational programs and special educational plans
conducted jointly by the Vocational Outreach Service and the Service for Care of

programs are being offered in all facilities where adolescents are held in
custody.
