           (ii)    Examine the patient; and

           (iii)   Develop an initial plan of treatment for the

     (b) If the medical staff of the state hospital determines

or staff to provide for the necessary medical needs of the
patient. If admittance is refused, the patient shall be
transported to a medical facility that is qualified to meet the
medical needs of the patient.
