Sections 63 and 64 of the Criminal Code are relevant for this .

The forensic outpatient clinic offers discharged patients a point of contact and permanent follow-up care.
The clinic for pulmonary and bronchial medicine at the Parsberg District Hospital treats patients with infectious tuberculosis (TB) who do not understand the disease and is the only one of its kind in the whole of Germany.
