Provisional permits may be issued for a limited period specified by the Department based on an acceptable written plan for correcting one or more deficiencies (plan of correction) found during an inspection; provisional permits issued shall remain in force and effect for such limited period of time as specified by the Department, unless earlier revoked due to prevailing circumstances which are not acceptable to the Department. Centers which are established and operating prior to adoption of these rules and regulations may be considered for extension of a provisional permit when needed to meet physical plant standards. If the Department's decision is that a deficiency is of such nature that it would jeopardize the life of a patient, a provisional permit will not be issued.
