FROM THE HON'BLE SURGN.-GENL. W. R. EDWARDS, C.B., C.M.G.,
M.D., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bengal,
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
FINANCIAL (MEDICAL) DEPARTMENT.
Dated Calcutta, the 1st May 1916.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the enclosed Annual Returns of the
Lunatic Asylums in the Bengal Presidency for the year 1915 with the
following short notes :—
2. Population.—The outstanding feature of the year is a still further
increase in the asylum population. It rose from 1,262 in 1914 to 1 285 during
the past year, which is the record number treated in any year. The daily
average strength was also higher, being 1,088 against 1,068 in the previous
year. The cause was, as usual, larger admissions and fewer discharges and
deaths.
3. Accommodation.—As has been noticed in previous years this ever-
growing population is a serious tax on the capacity of our lunatic asylums.
Last year the Dacca Asylum had on one occasion to accommodate 19, and the
Berhampore Asylum 40 lunatics, on the male side, over and above their sanc-
tioned capacities. I am glad to say that practical steps were taken during the
past year to increase the capacity of the latter asylum by the conversion of the
godowns and worksheds into wards. Government accorded its approval to the
construction of new godowns and worksheds and allotted Rs. 5,000 for
expenditure during 1915-16. A detailed estimate amounting to Rs. 10,265 has
also been drawn up and approved and the work is in progress. The additions
and alterations necessary to convert the godowns into wards, for which an
estimate amounting to Rs. 644 has been drawn up, will be taken in hand as
soon as the new godowns and worksheds are ready. After conversion, the old
godowns will give us an additional floor space of 3,600 sq. ft. which will
provide accommodation for 70 male lunatics. It is hoped that this will carry
us on till the new Central Asylum at Ranchi is opened.
4. Admissions and Re-admissions.—Two hundred and thirteen lunatics
were admitted during the year including 13 cases of re-admission, as compared
with 195 in 1914. About half of them, viz., 101, were criminal lunatics, their
number in the preceding year having been 91 only. Admissions fell off by 11
in the Bhawanipur Lunatic Asylum ; Berhampore had an excess of 5 over
the number admitted in 1914 ; while there was an abnormal rise at the Dacca
Asylum which had 24 more admissions than in the year before. Eleven of
them were convict lunatics transferred from Port Blair.
5. The Government of India ordered last year that convicts transported
to Port Blair from the Bengal Presidency who were suspected of insanity, or
whose judicial records indicated weakness of intellect at the time of
transportation, or who became insane after their arrival at Port Blair, should
be transferred to a lunatic asylum in this Presidency, so that they might get
the benefit of treatment. Twenty-five convicts were accordingly selected for
transfer, 11 of whom were made over to the Dacca Asylum last year and the
rest will gradually come—some to the Berhampore and others to the Dacca
Asylum.
