Which papers must a doctor or nurse working at a juvenile detention centre or classification review institute place into the information system the Minister of Justice operates?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind, we read the medical records, nursing records and other records of medical care to see which protected juvenile or other person they concern and which of the two facilities' staff made them. We also read the Ministry of Justice ordinance on preservation the provision refers to, since it governs how the Minister keeps them.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading sets out the full duty: a doctor and a nurse working at a juvenile detention centre or a classification review institute must enter the medical records, nursing records and other records of medical care relating to protected juveniles and others into the information system the Minister of Justice operates, so that those two facilities' information is managed in an integrated way, and the Minister must preserve those records as a Ministry of Justice ordinance provides.
Another reading marks the boundary by subject matter: what must be entered is limited to the papers the provision names, namely medical records, nursing records and other records of medical care concerning protected juveniles and others, so a paper of some other kind falls outside the duty, and the provision sets no preservation period, leaving it to the ordinance.
Your judgment
How could the file show that a particular record of medical care was entered into the system by a doctor or nurse working at the facility concerned?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to name other facilities, other staff or other kinds of record, or if the Ministry of Justice ordinance on preservation is issued or changed to set its terms.
