Commentary on Sections Part 10 – Criminal Justice Chapter 7 – Transfer from Prison Etc to Hospital Section 215 - Detention in hospital on removal under section 214
This section provides that where a hospital transfer direction is given in relation to a civil prisoner or an immigration detainee, the person will be liable to be detained in hospital until the hospital transfer direction ceases to have effect. It ceases to have effect if the conditions under section 216 are met, or if the Review Tribunal so directs under section 240. Sections 201 to 203, which relate to detention under hospital directions, apply to civil prisoners and immigration detainees detained in hospital under this section.
