1.3 VISITS TO PLACES OF DEPRIVATION OF LIBERTY larly regarding the suitability of medical care and the treatment of people deprived of liberty. The external doctors attended eight visits by the NPM in 2019. The NPM drafts a comprehensive (final) report on the findings established at the visited institution after each visit. The report also covers proposals and recommendations to eliminate established irregularities or deficiencies and to improve the situation, including measures to reduce the possibilities of improper treatment in the future. The Ombudsman’s representatives and the representatives of the selected NGOs participate in drafting the report on the visit. All participants, including NGO representatives, must prepare a brief report on their findings, together with proposals, which form part of the report on the implemented supervision. The report is submitted to the competent authority, i.e. the superior body of the visited institution, with a proposal that the authority take a position on the statements or recommendations in the report and submit it to the Ombudsman by a determined deadline. The institution concerned also receives the report, and a preliminary report is drafted in certain cases (when visiting social care institutions, psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment institutions). A representative of the Ombudsman is usually responsible for drafting the final report on the visit, although a person from a selected NGO may also be appointed for this purpose. 12 THE REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA ON IMPLEMENTING THE TASKS OF THE NPM
