90 Authorisation becomes treatment order when person ceases to be forensic patient
If a patient to whom an authorisation under section 88 applies ceases to be a forensic patient on a day, the authorisation is taken to be a treatment order in relation to the person on and from that day for a period of 6 months, unless the treatment order is discharged or otherwise ceases to be in effect.
