In my reply to Parliamentary Question 235 of 22 January 2019 to the Deputy on this issue, I said that I understood that the Inspector of Prisons is currently considering the establishment of an advisory group, but that this has not been finalised.
The Deputy may have in mind a now expired panel of experts established in 2013 at the request of the then Inspector of Prisons which had no advisory function. It was put in place to ensure the Inspector had available to him suitably qualified people to assist him if needed with certain aspects of his investigatory work under the Prisons Act 2007.
