46. Visitors.—All the three Asylums were visited by the Inspector-General of
Prisons during the year 1917. The monthly inspections by the official and the
non-official visitors have been regularly carried out and their reports were satis-
factory. They were annually inspected by the Hon'ble Surgeon-General
W. B. Bannerman, I.M.S.
47. Inventory of stores has been carried out periodically and the stock is
efficiently maintained.
48. The service books have been verified and found correct.
49. Concluding Remarks.—In the Madras Asylum the most serious want is
an electric installation. This is an urgent necessity. The head office of the
Superintendent is still located in a general block built for patients, thus depriving
the Asylum of accommodation for 16 more inmates. The building is further
unsuitable as an office. Now that the population of the Madras Asylum is steadily
increasing, a new office block is becoming a pressing need—vide my letter No. 6
Bl./380, dated 26th March 1918. The Vizagapatam Asylum stands in need of a
compound wall in place of the present prickly-pear hedge. A separate hospital
building for male patients is also required as one of the cottages is being used at
present for that purpose thus depriving the Asylum of its full accommodation.
Since there is an increase in the admission of filthy patients in the Vizagapatam
Asylum, increased accommodation in the shape of a few cells is also necessary.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
G. G. GIFFARD, Lt.-Col., I.M.S.,
Offg. Surgn.-Genl. with the Govt. of Madras.

Government
of Madras
LOCAL AND MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT (MEDICAL).
G.O. No. 227, 22nd May 1918
Lunatic Asylums
Reviewing the report on the — in the Madras Presidency for the triennium ending 1917.
READ—the following paper:—
Letter—from the Hon'ble Lieut.-Col. G. G. GIFFARD, C.S.I., I.M.S., Officiating
Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras.
To—the Secretary to Government, Local and Municipal (Medical) department.
Dated— Madras, the 15th April 1918.
No.—97/431.
Order—No. 227, L. & M. (Medical), dated 22nd May 1918.
Recorded.
2. The steady increase in the population of the lunatic asylums in this
Presidency noticed in the last triennial report continued also during the trien-
nium under review. The increase occurred mainly among civil male lunatics.
3. The Government are glad to observe some improvement in the general
health of the inmates of the asylums, the percentage of daily sick to average
strength being lower and the ratio of deaths to average strength having steadily
fallen from 14.35 per cent in 1913 and 13.68 per cent in 1914 to 9.04 in 1917.
The death-rate is still very high, especially in the Madras Asylum, where it was
9.45 per cent in 1917, and the Government hope that the subject will continue to
receive close attention.
4. The Surgeon-General is requested to submit proposals for the improve-
ments to the Vizagapatam Asylum referred to in paragraph 49 of his report
other than the compound wall. Estimates amounting to Rs. 30,350 have recently
been sanctioned by the Government for improvements to the Madras Lunatic
Asylum.
