Subject—Annual Report on Mental Hospitals in the
Bombay Presidency for the year 1933.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on Mental Hospitals
in the Bombay Presidency for the year 1933.
2. Buildings.—The buildings are in a good state of repair. The
additions, alterations and repairs to the old civil and female yards and
servants' quarters at Hyderabad were completed during this year.
Owing to financial stringency, no new major works were carried out
during the year.
3. Water-supply.—The water supply has been good and fairly
sufficient.
STATEMENT No. I.—Population.
4. The total population of the Mental Hospitals during the year
under review was 2,895 as compared with 2,824 in 1932. Admissions
including readmissions numbered 657 males and 221 females during the
year against 641 males and 241 females respectively in 1932. It is
gratifying to note that the readmissions this year numbered only 25
(20 males and 5 females) as compared with 84 (50 males and 34 females).
The daily average strength was 2,045.5 as compared with 2,004.2 in
the previous year.
