hospital shall review requests under subsection (b) to determine whether return
from Convalescent Leave pursuant to subsection (a) is in the best interests of
the patient.
(c) If the patient is
not able or is unwilling to return to the hospital, or if the hospital from
which the patient was given convalescent leave refuses to return the patient to
its care for a violation of the Convalescent Leave Plan, the party seeking the
patient's return may request a hearing before the court that ordered the
patient's involuntary hospitalization.

transportation for a patient returning to the Wyoming State Hospital.

return to the hospital from which the patient was given convalescent leave, the
