INTERIM CARE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH ANINTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
- (a) All of the patient services described previously shall be available to persons with an intellectual disability. In addition, interim care is exclusively for those persons with an intellectual disability.
- (b) Inpatient care of persons with an intellectual disability is the responsibility of State operated institutions. The final determination as to whether a person is in need of inpatient care is the responsibility of the Department. When the Department determines that a person is eligible for care in a State operated facility, but that there is no room for him at the time of that determination, the Department will place the person on a waiting list. Interim care is intended for a person who, having been removed from his home, is on a waiting list.
