s 65 Making of physical examination
65.—(1) Where a person is in custody and a provost officer believes, on reasonable grounds, that the making of a physical examination of the person may —(a) provide evidence of the commission of an offence by the person; or (b) provide evidence of the identity of the person, that officer may authorise a duly qualified medical practitioner to make a physical examination of the person and may authorise the use of such force as is reasonably necessary to convey that person to a duly qualified medical practitioner. (2) A duly qualified medical practitioner who is authorised to do so under subsection (1) may make a physical examination of a person and may, for that purpose, use such force and obtain such assistance as is reasonably necessary. (3) Where a duly qualified medical practitioner makes a physical examination of a person under this section, that medical practitioner has to give to the provost officer who authorised the examination a report setting out the results of the examination.
