The Veteran's condition was stable enough for him to be transferred to a VA facility on July 19, 2007. However, he could not have been safely transferred or discharged due to the lack of available VA facilities and his need for further treatment.
The deciding factor: VA facilities were feasibly available but the Veteran's condition was stable enough for transfer by July 19, 2007, making it impractical to continue at a non-VA facility.
