No. 6650.
FROM SURGEON-GENERAL W. H. B. ROBINSON, C.B., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bengal.
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
FINANCIAL (MSDICAL) DEPARTMENT.
Dated Calcutta, the 20th April 1918.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the sixth Triennial Report on the
working of the Lunatic Asylums in the Presidency of Bengal for the period
from 1915 to 1917.
2. Number of Lunatic Asylums.—The Insane Ward at the Albert Victor
Leper Asylum at Gobra, where the leper lunatics were being treated, was,
towards the end of the year 1916, declared to be a lunatic asylum under the
Lunacy Act of 1912 ; this raised the number of lunatic asylums from 3 to 4.
3. Accommodation.—During the year 1917, the total accommodation
of the lunatic asylums in the Presidency was raised from 1,094 (males 888,
females 206) to 1,174 (males 966, females 208), i.e., by 80 beds. This increase
was mostly at the Berhampore Asylum where 70 additional beds were
provided by converting some godowns and workshops into barracks.
4. Overcrowding.—There was some overcrowding at the Dacca Lunatic
Asylum during the latter half of the year 1917, much space on the male side
was taken up by single cubicles which were constructed for the segregation of
dangerous lunatics. Arrangements have, however, been made to make up the
shortage at Dacca by providing extra accommodation.
Overcrowding at the Bhowanipur Lunatic Asylum was prevented by
transferring 5 of its inmates to Berhampore and by accommodating some
pauper and 3rd class lunatics in second class rooms.
5. Statement I—Population.—The outstanding feature of the working
of the past triennium was a still further increase in the asylum population.
The average population was 1,331 as compared with 1,283 in 1912—14.
6. Admissions.—The total number of admissions was 231 in 1915, 227
in 1916 and 263 in 1917, the average for the triennium being 240 as compared
with 200 admitted on an average during the preceding three years. The
large increase in 1917 may be attributed entirely to the admission of a large
number (viz., 55) of military insanes. Two voluntary boarders were admitted
into the Berhampore Lunatic Asylum, viz., one, a female, in 1915 and the
other, a Police Sub-Inspector, in 1917. The latter was discharged cured.
7. Re-admissions.—Re-admissions numbered 13 in 1915, 14 in 1916 and
21 in 1917, of whom only 5, 7 and 7, respectively, were non-criminal lunatics.
Of the 7 non-criminals of last year, 4 sought asylum treatment after enjoying
freedom from insanity for periods varying from 2 to nearly 5 years and one
for nearly 10 years. The remaining two, who had been taken away by their
relatives before complete recovery, were brought back after a comparatively
short period, viz., one year in one case and 4 months in the other.
6
lunatics, the Bhowanipur Asylum buildings, which are in a dilapidated con-
dition, will be pulled down and new buildings will be erected on the site for
the accommodation of " observation " cases amongst Europeans and Indians.
A set of executive instructions for the internal management of lunatic
asylums was drawn up last year and submitted for the approval of Govern-
ment ; these have just been approved and are now in the Press.
Surgeon-General Edwards visited all the asylums during the period
under notice. His Excellency the Governor of Bengal paid visits to the
Dacca and the Berhampore Lunatic Asylums last year.
The following officers held charge of the lunatic asylums during the
triennium :—
Bhowanipur.—Captain
N. H. Hume, I.M.S., throughout the period,
except from 1st to 16th August 1915, when Captain C. H.
O'Rooke, R.A.M.C., acted.
Dacca.—Lieutenant-Colonel A. R. S., Anderson, I.M.S., from 1st January
to 18th November 1915, Lieutenant-Colonel E. A. R. Newman,
I.M.S., from 19th November 1915 to 25th September 1917 and
again from 31st October to 31st December 1917 and Major O. St.
John Moses, I.M.S., from 26th September to 30th October 1917.
Berhampore.—Major A. S. M. Peebles, I.M.S., from 1st January 1915 to
14th December 1917 and Major O. St. John Mosses, I.M.S., for the
remaining period.
Gobra.—Senior Grade Civil Assistant Surgeon Kali Prasanna Banarji
(1st January to 31st December 1917).
My predecessor has spoken highly of the manner in which the above-
mentioned officers carried out their onerous and often unpleasant duties ;
their asylum' work in all cases being in addition to their other duties.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
W. H. B. ROBINSON.
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bengal
