Albert's lawyer is concerned that he does not understand the charges against him and that he cannot participate in his own defence.

A) permissible - if there's no bed, he has to wait.
B) undesirable, but allowed - it may delay Albert's ability to stand trial and he may reach maximum time limits for being detained.
C) not allowed - if a judge orders treatment for fitness to stand trial, treatment must be given.
D) not permitted - if there's no treatment, Albert must go free.
