G.O. No. 990-P.H., 13th August 1921
Lunatic Asylums
Triennial report for 1918—1920—recorded with remarks.
READ—the following:—
Letter—from the Major-General G. G. GIFFARD, C.S.I., K.H.S., I.M.S., Surgeon-
General with the Government of Madras.
To—the Secretary to Government, Local Self-Government Department.
Dated—Madras,the 4th May 1921./10th June 1921.
No.—97/561-A.
Order—No. 990-P.H., dated 13th August 1921.
Recorded.
2. The increase in the asylum civil population continued during the period
under review, the daily average strength having risen from 852 in 1917 to 895 in
1920. There was a slight decrease in the criminal population, the daily average
strength having been 161 in 1920 as against 194 in 1917.
3. The Government observe that the death-rate has been uniformly high
during the triennium. The Surgeon-General's statement that the increase was
due to the prevalence of influenza in 1918 does not satisfactorily explain the
position. The Surgeon-General is requested to investigate into the causes of the
high death-rate in more detail and submit a full report to the Government.
4. The Government note with pleasure the measures taken to provide
amusements for the patients.
5. The Surgeon-General is requested to address the Government separately
regarding the defects noticed in the concluding paragraph of his report, with
detailed proposals for remedying them.
