Dated Calcutta, the 1st May 1922.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith the Annual Returns of
the Lunatic Asylums in this Presidency for the year 1921 with the following
brief notes.
2. The four lunatic asylums that were in operation (including the
Lunatic Observation Ward, Bhowanipore) had a total capacity of 1,121, viz.,
924 for males and 197 for females, as compared with 1,099 (901 for males and
198 for females) in 1920. The additional barrack with accommodation for 24
males that was constructed in 1920 at Dacca was taken into use last year ; this
accounts for the increase in the accommodation for males. There was on the
other hand a decrease in the capacity of the Observation Ward from 3 males
and 3 females to 2 and 2 respectively owing to the old buildings having been
dismantled and new ones being under construction.
3. Population.—The total population including observation cases which
the lunatic asylums had to deal with, during the year, numbered 1,210 as com-
pared with 1,261 in the preceding year, their daily average having been 957.08
against 966.66. The maximum number confined was 988 (832 males and 156
females) as compared with 1,002 in 1920.
4. Admissions and re-admissions.—Altogether 187 lunatics were
admitted or re-admitted during the year as compared with 278 in the previous
year. The difference is due chiefly to the fact that the figure for 1920
includes observation cases while that for the past year does not. Such cases
are, under the orders of the Government of India, now shown in a separate
statement. Fewer admissions of private patients and military insanes were
also partly responsible for the decrease in the year under notice.
Only twenty-seven lunatics were admitted on the certificate of the
Superintendents of the Lunatic Asylums.
The duration of insanity prior to admission was known in 106 cases
out of 187 ; it was less than 3 months in 35 cases, between 3 and 6 months
in 19, between 6 and 12 months in 13, between 1 and 5 years in 27 and over
5 years in 12 cases.
5. Private patients.—Seventeen private patients were admitted during
the year against 20 in 1920. Excluding those admitted into the Bhowanipore
Asylum for observation, the number of private patients was 6 only and the
total population of such patients 31, all being in the Berhampore Lunatic
Asylum. Six of them were discharged, viz., 3 cured and 3 otherwise and
25 remained at the close of the year.
6. Discharges and recoveries.—One-hundred and thirty-eight lunatics
were discharged as compared with 189 in 1920. The latter figure includes
the discharges among observation cases. Of this number 106 cases were
discharged cured against 90 in the previous year, the percentage to daily
average strength being 11.07 against 9.31 in 1920.
