A 37-year-old man who was ordered to stay at Whitehorse General Hospital is now under a new order from the Yukon Review Board.

In territorial court Friday, a new order by the Yukon Review Board was put in place.

Under it, Chad Carlyle has been sent to an Alberta facility after having breached the original order, which had placed him in the local hospital's care.

Carlyle had been ordered to stay at Whitehorse General last week after he was deemed not criminally responsible on assault and threat charges.

On Friday, he was brought into court for having left the hospital.

In a previous interview, Crown prosecutor David McWhinnie said the case points to the issue of whether the Yukon needs a facility for such cases or if there should be another arrangement made with an institution(s) Outside to provide access for Yukoners.

'This is a question. I don't have the answer,' he said.

While an arrangement was being made at the time for Carlyle to go Outside, McWhinnie noted, there's no standing arrangement with an Outside institution for cases where people will need treatment for the long term.

In November 2005, Judge Heino Lilles found Carlyle not criminally responsible on charges of assault, uttering threats and breaching his probation order from B.C. by reason of a mental disorder.

His case was then referred to the review board, which ordered last June that he continued to pose a risk to public safety.

The board then ordered that he be committed to a designated hospital facility under a seciton of the Criminal Code allowing for that.

That order was to remain in effect for a year, with the territorial government ordered to cover costs that went beyond any current arrangements that were made.

Carlyle was also convicted last month for breaking his B.C. probation order condition that he inform his probation officer of his current residence and phone number and not change them without consent.

He was sentenced to 21 days in jail and given a credit of seven days when he was in pre-trial custody.
