Orders such as admission to hospital, guardianship under the Mental Health Act, supervision and treatment, and absolute discharge are recognized legal outcomes for defendants found unfit to plead. However, an order for a defendant to be held indefinitely for more testing is not a standard legal option, as it would contravene principles of justice and human rights by not providing a clear resolution or appropriate treatment pathway.
