Section 32: Removal of sick detainee

32. Removal of sick detainee (1) A medical officer, or in case of emergency, the officer in charge, may, where there is no suitable accommodation in the institution, arrange for the removal to hospital of a detainee who is ill or injured. (2) Except where the Commissioner has taken special security measures under section 34, the person in charge of a hospital to which a detainee is removed under subsection (1) and every other person working in the hospital shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the escape of the detainee. (3) Where the person in charge of a hospital to which a detainee has been removed under subsection (1) considers that the health of the detainee no longer requires treatment in the hospital, he shall notify the Commissioner who shall, where the detainee is still liable to detention, cause him to be returned to the appropriate institution.
