Latest version.
-
The prohibition in 20 Pa.C.S. § 5461(f) (relating to decisions by health care representative) on a health care providers being a health care representative is not applicable to a facility director under section 417(c) of the MH/MR Act (50 P. S. § 4417(c)), regarding powers and duties of directors, because a facility director is made a guardian under that section, not a health care representative.
