Is it permissible to obtain medical materials (fillings) from a distant government hospital to treat teeth in the city where the enquirer resides, given that a government hospital is available in his city but does not provide treatment due to an accumulation of medical materials, thereby compelling people to resort to private clinics?

The answer is summarized by the prohibition of hoarding medicine to force people into private hospitals for treatment, deeming it deception and betrayal. As for taking a filling from another hospital, it is permissible if the hospital's regulations allow it and the prohibition is not for a valid reason; otherwise, it is not permissible.
