During the period following the SPT Delegation’s departure, physicians authorised on a case-by-case basis also participated in the NPM’s visits. These physicians authorised on a case-by-case basis carried out their work325 and were remunerated326 on the basis of civil law contracts, in accordance with the legal provisions on forensic medical experts. 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 background327 advocated in the NPM Guidelines. Against this background, the NPM intends to turn to the Government in connection with the amendment of the legal regulation328 on the physician positions. 17.
