(d) The department shall not approve any plans that propose to locate any function listed in subdivision (a) in a freestanding building until the State Department of Health Services certifies to the department that it has received and approved a plan acceptable to the State Department of Health Services that demonstrates how the health facility will continue to provide all basic services in the event of any emergency when the freestanding building may no longer remain functional.
