ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 468/V—101.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Dated Allahabad, the 22nd May, 1924.
RESOLUTION.
READ—
The triennial report on the lunatic asylums in the United Provinces for the years 1921,
1922 and 1923.
OBSERVATIONS.—The accommodation provided by the
three asylums of the province was ample. They can hold
1,137 male and 316 female patients, whereas the maximum
number of patients confined on any one night during the
year 1923 was 1,084 males and 255 females. The daily average
strength fell from 1,384 in 1920 to 1,301 in 1923. The admis-
sions, discharges and deaths during the past two triennia
compare as follows : —
Admissions ... ...
Discharges ... ...
Deaths ... ...
1918-1920
1,382
976
534
1921—1923
1,073
738
419
The population of the asylums is now lower than in any
year since 1913.
2. It is satisfactory that the death-rate has fallen from
12.21 to 10.71 but it is still higher than the rate (8.66) for the
triennium 1915—1917. The rate of mortality in the Benares
asylum during the last six years has exceeded that in the
other two asylums. The daily average of sick during the
triennium decreased from 238.98 to 220.59.
The figures
given in the reports indicate more sickness in Benares than
in the other two asylums; much of it seems to have been
caused by malaria.
3. The percentage of cure to daily average strength was
14.45 in 1920 compared with 12.14 in 1923. The number of
patients recovered and improved decreased from 694 and 163
to 553 and 140 respectively.
4. The criminal lunatics formed 18.2 per cent. of the
total daily average strength in 1923. The details are :—

(

)
At present all three asylums contain both criminal and
non criminal lunatics. This association with criminal luna-
tics is considered injurious to the rest of the inmates and the
Government is examining a proposal to reserve one asylum
exclusively for criminal lunatics.
5. The total expenditure of the triennium increased from
Rs. 7,33,906 to Rs. 7,61,289. The rise was mainly due to
higher rates of pay drawn by the medical officers and by the
subordinate establishment. Considering the years individually
it is noticed that the expenditure fell from Rs. 2,75,805 in
1921 to Rs. 2,29,382 in 1923. The decrease is chiefly account-
ed for by the fall in prices of food-stuffs.
6. The total receipts from paying patients decreased in the
triennium by Rs. 10,413 from Rs. 32,343 to Rs. 21,930. The
net profits of the asylum industries grew from Rs. 30,770 to
Rs. 45,981. The Bareilly asylum showed a lesser net profit
during the last six years than the other two asylums of the
province.
7. The thanks of Government are due to the Superinten-
dents for their good administration, in particular to Lieut.-Col.
Overbeck-Wright and Lieut-Col. Hopper for the excellent
work done by them.
ORDER—Ordered that a copy of this resolution be forward-
ed to the Inspector General of Civil Hospitals, United Pro-
vinces for information.
Ordered also that this resolution be published in the United
Provinces Government Gazette.
By order of the Governor, acting with his Ministers.
