In case of need for in-patient treatment, a person deprived of liberty shall be transferred to the in-patient ward of the medical services unit of the PI, and if the inpatient ward cannot secure all of the necessary in-patient treatment (for example, due to not having narrowlyspecialized doctors, the required medical equipment, or an appropriate license), then the person deprived of liberty shall be transferred to the correctional medical institution or medical institutions of the healthcare authorities. 2.3.21. The transfer of a person deprived of liberty to a medical institution of the healthcare authorities or to the correctional medical institution shall be performed on the basis of the relevant medical indication, on time, without unnecessary or excessive delays. 2.3.22.

The PS and the PI may not reject the transfer of a person deprived of liberty to a medical institution or to the correctional medical institution on the ground of resource scarcity. 22
