The ad hoc employment of physicians participating in the visits makes it possible to select them, upon the recommendation of the Civil Consultative Body, in accordance with the specifics of a given place of detention (e.g., psychiatrist, paediatric psychiatrist, internist, geriatrician etc.). The aforementioned solution efficiently ensures the diverse professional background 32 advocated in the NPM Guidelines. Against this background, the NPM intends to turn to the Government in connection with the amendment of the legal regulation33 on the physician positions. 17. In accordance with the recommendations set forth in Clauses 25 and 26 of the Subcommittee’s report, the Office maintains regular, constructive dialogue with the staff of the Ministry for National Economy in order to ascertain what is needed by the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights to permit him to properly fulfil his legal mandate, including the performance of the tasks of the NPM.
