Hospital Order
This Order applies to a person with mental problems. Detention in a hospital with police security is provided for under the Mental Health Ordinance (Chapter 136). Where the crime is serious, and where doctors cannot predict when the offender may be fit for release, the period of detention is usually left indeterminate.
