hospital is located some dis­
tance from the community in
which the client resides or
is found this is a very time­
consuming and, thus expensive
procedure. '
The purpo amendment to
the Mental Health Code would
simply signify that the Legisla-
ture did intend for community
mental health boards to arrange
for transportation of client
hen needed and to pay for
tho services when used and
