Medical Emergencies. If an inmate who has a hearing disability and requires a qualified interpreter for effective communication has a medical need that cannot wait for the assistance of a qualified interpreter to facilitate communication, VDOC will not delay in providing whatever medical care, treatment, evaluation, or service would be provided to other persons under similar circumstances. In such event, VDOC will use the most effective, readily available means of communicating with the inmate and will provide a qualified interpreter as soon as possible, but within no more than 2 hours. VDOC will require the interpreter service agencies with whom it contracts for VRI services to provide a qualified interpreter within 2 hours.
