A prisoner can be transferred to hospital under s47. Under s47(3) he will be treated as if subject to a hospital order: s47 on its own is often called a "notional s37".
It is usually given alongside a restriction direction under s49. One exception is where the prisoner is near the end of his imprisonment, as the restrictions would soon cease and the patient would become a notional s37 patient at that stage anyway.
See Discharge of transferred prisoners.
