Power to specify hospital units

Revision as of 23:10, 13 February 2007 by Jonathan (talk | contribs)

s47 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 states that certain powers to specify a hospital includes the power to specify a specific hospital unit. This applies to:

  • Hospital order with restriction order, s37/41
  • Hospital and limitation direction, s45A
  • Restricted transfer direction, s47/49

Any reference in legislation to "hospital" is then taken to refer to the specified hospital unit instead.
