For the making of any diagnostic evaluation before certification or commitment, the district judge or juvenile judge shall give the temporary custody of the child to the executive director of the department of human services for temporary placement at any state institution deemed most suitable by the executive director during the period of evaluation. Subject to the provisions of section 23-23-108, the executive director of the department of human services shall accept all such children assigned to the executive director, within the limits of available facilities. Nothing in this section permits the designation of the university of Colorado psychiatric hospital as a housing facility for such children.
