sec.30Refusal of medical treatment

### sec.30 Refusal of medical treatment This section applies if, after being medically examined, a person is found to require medical treatment because of the effect of the CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency. The person may refuse to undergo the treatment. However, if the medical controller or a government doctor is satisfied allowing the person to leave without medical treatment will pose a serious risk to the life or health of individuals not already affected by the CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency, it is lawful for a CBRE ambulance officer or a CBRE health officer to treat the person despite the refusal. The person may have been affected by a substance that can not be transmitted from person to person. If the person refuses treatment, allowing the person to leave without being treated would not pose a risk to others and there would be no reason to continue to isolate the person. This section does not limit a person’s right to refuse medical treatment that is not related to a CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency. s 30 ins 2003 No. 46 s 13 (sec.30-ssec.1) This section applies if, after being medically examined, a person is found to require medical treatment because of the effect of the CBR substance involved in the CBR emergency.
