The attending doctor is authorised to inform the sentence enforcement judge or the probation officer of the interruption of treatment, without being bound by the provisions of article 226-13 of the Criminal Code. When the attending doctor informs the judge or probation officer, he will immediately inform the coordinating doctor.
If treatment is refused or interrupted against the advice of the attending doctor, the latter shall immediately inform the coordinating doctor who shall immediately inform the sentence enforcement judge, in compliance with the provisions relating to medical confidentiality. If the coordinating doctor is unavailable, the attending doctor may inform the sentence enforcement judge directly of the refusal or interruption of treatment against his advice.
The attending physician may also inform the coordinating physician of any difficulties encountered in carrying out the treatment, who is authorised, under the same conditions as in the previous paragraph, to inform the sentence enforcement judge or the probation officer.
The attending physician may also propose that the sentence enforcement judge order a medical examination.
The attending physician may prescribe any treatment indicated for the care of the convicted offender, including libido inhibiting medication.
