Order—No. 1004 P.H., dated 5th June 1931.
Recorded.
2. Strength and accommodation.—There was an appreciable increase
in the total number of patients under treatment and in the daily average
strength, the totals being 1,942 and 1,404 respectively against 1,720 and
1,276 during 1929. Accommodation continued to be inadequate, financial
stringency being responsible for not improving it further.
3. The Surgeon-General is requested to report how two among the
recovered criminal lunatics in the Mental Hospital, Madras, escaped and
what disciplinary action was taken against the persons concerned for
want of vigilance.
4. Sick rate and mortality.—The death-rate rose from 6.8 in 1929 to
7.4 per cent during the year under report. The daily average number
of patients sick in the hospital also rose from 214 to 236. Even though
the epidemic of influenza broke out in the mental hospitals at Madras
and Calicut there were no deaths. Waltair continued to be free from
epidemics.
5. General.—Financial stringency retarded the progress, while normal
activities were carried on unaffected. For the same reason the Govern-
ment were not able to give effect to the proposals for the opening of
Psychiatric clinics in the General Hospitals attached to Medical Colleges,

2. Strength and accommodation.—The total number of patients under
treatment and the daily average strength continued to increase, the totals
being 2,077 and 1,500 respectively against 1,942 and 1,404 during 1930.
Government regret that owing to financial stringency proposals for
extensions and improvements to the Mental Hospital, Madras, had to be
deferred.
3. Sick rate and mortality.—It is satisfactory to note that the death-
rate fell from 7.4 per cent in 1930 to 5.8 per cent in the year under report :
similarly the daily average number of patients sick in the hospitals also
fell from 236 to 234. The mental hospitals at Waltair and Calicut were
free from epidemics of any kind. A few stray cases of infectious
diseases were present in the Madras Hospital but not in epidemic form.
4. General.—Financial stringency stood in the way of effecting the
improvements suggested by the Surgeon-General.

OFFICE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS,

From
MAJOR-GENERAL C. A. SPRAWSON, C.I.E., V.H.S., I.M.S.,
SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS,
MADRAS,
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH) DEPARTMENT,
MADRAS.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the working
of the mental hospitals in this Presidency for the year ending 31st
December 1931.
2. Population.—The total population of the three mental hospitals
during the year under report was 2,077 (1,606 males and 471 females)
as against 1,942 in the previous year. The number of patients remaining
at the commencement of the year was 1,435. The figure for the previous
year was 1,343 and the number admitted and re-admitted during the year
was 642 as compared with 599 in the previous year. Of the total treated,
255 were " cured ", 119 " improved ", 45 " discharged not improved ", 55
" discharged otherwise ", 87 " died " and 1,516 remained at the end of the
year. The daily average strength of inmates in the three mental hospitals
was 1,499.9 as compared with 1,403.9 in the previous year and the daily
average sick was 233.7 as against 236.4 in 1930. Of the total number of
patients admitted during the year, 24 were Europeans and Anglo-Indians,
63 Indian Christians, 416 Hindus, 113 Muhammadans and 15 of other
castes. The total population may be classified as follows:—

There were three escapes during the year, two from the Mental
Hospital, Madras, and one from the Mental Hospital, Waltair. Of the
two patients who escaped from the Mental Hospital, Madras, one was a
criminal lunatic. He was found and brought back to the hospital. A
report regarding the escape and re-arrest of this criminal lunatic was
sent to Government and was recorded in G.O. Ms. No. 4225, Law (General),
dated 19th November 1931.
3. Treatment and its results.—The results of treatment have been
satisfactory. The percentage of recoveries on the daily average strength
was 17.00 as against 15.81 in the previous year and that on admissions was
21.17 the corresponding figure for 1930 being 20.54. On account of over-
crowding of patients in the Madras Mental Hospital a number of cases
had to be discharged and handed over to relatives as " improved".
Otherwise they might have been discharged as "cured" had they
remained longer in the hospital.
4. Age and previous occupation of the inmates.—Of the patients
admitted and re-admitted during the year 39 were under 20 years of age,
408 between 20 to 40 years, 168 between 40 to 60 years and 16 upwards of

the permanent plans cannot be followed, should be erected. The
Superintendent of the Madras Mental Hospital further states :—
" It must also be pointed out that, while the population of this
hospital is steadily increasing, the staff necessary to meet the additional
work and responsibility has not increased proportionately, although the
Mental Hospital Code allows for this. This is a very serious handicap,
because, with a very limited staff, the patients cannot receive the indivi-
dual attention and care that should be given them and treatment in a
mental hospital depends for its success on the intimate personal relation-
ship of the staff and the patient".
I repeat also the satisfaction I expressed last year with the manage-
ment of all the mental hospitals and especially with that of Madras which
Dr. Hensman has superintended well in spite of the sometimes adverse
conditions.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
C. A. SPRAWSON, MAJOR-GENERAL, I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras.
