Youth Justice Act 2005

This section applies if a detainee is moved to a hospital under section 151(3)(e) or 178.

The superintendent of the detention centre from which the detainee was moved must make the necessary arrangements with the person in charge of the hospital to ensure the security and good order of the detainee while the detainee is in hospital.

While in the hospital, the detainee remains in lawful detention for this Act.

If the detainee is discharged from the hospital and his or her sentence of detention has not expired, the detainee must be returned to the detention centre to serve the remainder of the sentence.
