LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH) DEPARTMENT
G.O. No. 1427 P.H., 27th August 1923
Mental Hospitals
Statistical returns for 1922—recorded with remarks.
READ—the following:—
Letter from Major-Genl. G. G. Giffard, K.C.I.E., 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 14th April 1923/22nd May 1923, No. R. 774-G.
Order—No. 1427-P,H., dated 27th August 1923.
Recorded.
2. The importance of the scientific treatment of persons suffering from
mental diseases is only just beginning to be recognized in this country and steps
are being taken to bring the asylums in the Madras Presidency into line with the
mental hospitals in the United Kingdom. The Indian Lunacy Act was specially
amended last year in order to allow of the asylums being styled " Mental
Hospitals " with a view to emphasizing the fact that these institutions are
intended to serve as hospitals where modern scientific treatment can be afforded
to mental patients, rather than as prisons where lunatics can be interned. The
Government have accordingly directed the change of the designation of the
asylums in this Presidency into " Mental Hospitals." They have also recently
sanctioned the deputation of a selected Assistant Surgeon to England for special
training in mental diseases in order to provide expert medical treatment in the
mental hospitals.
3. The question of improving the accommodation in the mental hospitals is
mainly one of funds and has to be considered with other urgent works required
for medical institutions in the Presidency. In the prevailing financial stringency,
it is not possible to expect any very rapid progress in this direction.
4. The Government are glad to note the various efforts made to provide
amusements for the patients in the mental hospitals. They also gratefully
acknowledge the generous assistance rendered by Messrs. Jamal Mohideen & Co.
and the proprietors of the Elphinstone Picture Palace and by the Rani Sahiba
of Wadhwan.
