make either of these orders during the detention period —
(a) if
satisfied, having regard to the criteria specified in section 25, that the
involuntary inpatient is no longer in need of the inpatient treatment order
but is in need of a community treatment order — a community treatment
order in respect of the inpatient;
(b) if
satisfied, having regard to the criteria specified in section 25, that the
involuntary inpatient is no longer in need of an involuntary treatment order
— an order revoking the inpatient treatment order.
(2) The psychiatrist
may make the order without examining the involuntary inpatient.
(3) The order must be
in the approved form and must include the following —
(a) the
date and time when it is made;

(4) The psychiatrist
must, as soon as practicable, file the order and give a copy to the
involuntary inpatient.

order under subsection (1) is an event to which Part 9 applies and the

notification of that event.
