§ 7708. Surgical operations

If the superintendent finds that a patient supported by the state requires a surgical operation or that a surgical operation would promote the possibility of his discharge from the hospital, the superintendent, with the consent of the patient, his attorney or his legally appointed guardian, if any, or next of kin, if any be known, may make the necessary arrangements with some surgeon and hospital for the operation. The expense of the operation shall be borne by the state in the same proportion as the patient is supported by the state. (Added 1967, No. 305 (Adj. Sess.), { 1, eff. Oct. 1, 1968.)
