Regulation 9 Requirements as to medical treatment
Where the registered medical practitioner by whom or under whose direction the supervised person is being treated in pursuance of a requirement under regulation 7 or 8 is of the opinion that part of the treatment can be better or more conveniently given in or at an institution or place which—
is not specified in the order, and
is one in or at which the treatment of the supervised person will be by or under the direction of a registered medical practitioner,
he may, with the consent of the supervised person, make arrangements for him to be treated at that institution or place.
Such arrangements may provide for the supervised person to receive part of his treatment as a resident patient in an institution or place of any description.
Where any such arrangements are made for the treatment of a supervised person—
the medical practitioner by whom the arrangements are made shall give notice in writing to the supervising officer, specifying the institution or place in or at which the treatment is to be carried out; and
the treatment provided for by the arrangements shall be deemed to be treatment to which he is required to submit in pursuance of the supervision order.
While the supervised person is under treatment as a resident patient in pursuance of arrangements under this regulation, the supervising officer shall carry out the supervision to such extent only as may be necessary for the purpose of the revocation or amendment of the order.
