  hygiene legal service within three days thereof and  such  notice  shall
  specify the age of and admission procedure applicable to such person. No
  such person shall be transferred to any other hospital without the prior

  is afforded to the service to see such person and to review the proposed
  transfer.  Immediately  upon release or transfer of any such person, the
  director of the hospital shall give the  mental  hygiene  legal  service
  written notice thereof.
