RESOLUTION ON THE REPORT ON THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BURMA FOR THE TRIENNIUM 1915-1917.
indicate that every effort is made by the staffs of the two Asylums to minimise
the disadvantages of inadequate accommodation. This inadequacy is felt most
severely in respect of the provision of facilities for employment and recreation.
The inmates should be permitted as far as possible to live an open-air life and to
follow the occupations and amusements to which they have been accustomed
before they entered the Asylum. Want of space prevents this method from being
followed at present, but it is hoped that the plans for the new asylum will provide
opportunities for the suitable employment and recreation of the inmates.
4. Statement III shows that during the triennium, out of a total number of
665 admissions, 117 have been Hindus, 93 Mahomedans and 38 Indian Christians.
The proportion of Indians admitted, 248 out of 665, i.e., over 37 per cent., has no
relation whatever to the proportion of Indians to the total population of the country.
Endeavours have recently been made to secure the transfer of the Indian inmates
to their respective provinces. These have met with but little success, owing
partly to the lapse of time between the admission of these Indian patients to the
Asylum and the application for their transfer, partly to the imperfect records of their
district of origin and their period of residence in Burma, but mainly to the applica-
tion for the transfer of large numbers of lunatics at one time. Steps have now
been taken to ensure that full enquiries shall be made of the district of origin and
the period of residence in Burma of every Indian lunatic admitted to the Asylum,
and that each individual case shall be submitted at the earliest possible date to
the Local Government for consideration whether the case is one for which an
application to transfer should be made.
5. The Lieutenant-Governor has visited the Rangoon Asylum and is much
impressed with the inadequate and unsatisfactory accommodation at present
provided and with the necessity for the early construction of a new asylum.
His observations were recorded in a minute which was published at the time, and
it is sufficient to say that efforts will be made to provide funds as soon as
satisfactory plans have been received from the Committee which now has the
matter under consideration.
The names of members of the staffs of the two Asylums selected for
commendation have been noted. The staff at Rangoon appear to be working as
satisfactorily as can be expected under adverse circumstances.
By order of the Lieutenant-Governor of Burma,
C. M. WEBB,
Secretary to the Government of Burma.

REPORT ON THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BURMA FOR THE TRIENNIUM 1915-17.

and good, except during the hot weather, and the sale to the public amounted to
Rs. 1,206 in 1917 against Rs. 644 in the previous year.
14. Committees.—In Rangoon, twelve meetings of visitors were held and the
attendance was fair. Since May 1917, four additional non-officials were appointed
as visitors. The Special Committee appointed by the Local Government to
investigate the allegations in the local newspapers about the Rangoon Asylum
held two meetings and submitted their report, which while suggesting certain
improvements to the existing Lunatic Asylum, Rangoon, maintained that the work
on the new Asylum buildings should commence on an early date.
15. Staff, Rangoon.—Major A. G. Sargent, I.M.S., was in charge of the
Asylum for two years, two months and five days in the triennium, and Civil
Assistant Surgeon C. S. Krishnaswamy Iyer, L.M S., who was deputy then, took
charge from him from the 6th March 1917 when Major Sargent was recalled to
military duty. Although the duties are onerous and difficult owing to the
unsatisfactory condition of asylum buildings, these officers carried them out to my
entire satisfaction.
Senior Grade Sub-Assistant Surgeon S. K. Bux was
appointed Deputy Superintendent in July 1917 and is reported to have done
his work satisfactorily. There have been some changes in the staff of Sub-
Assistant Surgeons owing to transfers due to war. The nursing, supervising and
clerical staff appear to have carried out their duties fairly satisfactorily. In 1917,
an assistant to the overseer was sanctioned, and the staff of keepers and sweepers
was increased to provide for night duty.
Minbu.—Military Assistant Surgeon G. W. Vincent was in charge from the
1st January 1915 to the 2nd August 1915, Dr. Jones from the 22nd August 1915
to 26th February 1916 and Civil Assistant Surgeon P. R. Menon from 18th
August 1916 to the 10th October 1917, Dr. Isa Charan, Civil Surgeon, Magwe,
being in collateral charge as a temporary measure during the intervals between
the dates given above. Civil Assistant Surgeon J. Bannerji, L.M.S., took over
charge with effect from the 11th October 1917 and continues to be the Superin-
tendent. Sub-Assistant Surgeon Sheo Prasad continued to hold the post of
Deputy Superintendent till the 20th August 1917, when Sub-Assistant Surgeon
Anand Rao relieved him. All these officers have done their best in discharging
the duties entrusted to them.
