Proceedings of the Punjab Government in the Medical
Department No.2038-M-38/24785, dated 18th July, 1938.
READ—
Letter No. 3510-G., dated the 21st March, 1938, from the
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, forwarding
the Punjab Mental Hospital Report for the year 1937.
Remarks.—There were 991 patients in the hospital at the
commencement of the year. 162 new cases (139 males and
23 females) were admitted, 143 were discharged and 29 died
during the course of the year leaving a balance of 981 at its
close. Admission was restricted to curable cases only, but
for want of accommodation a number of criminal and non-
criminal patients among the females had to be refused ad-
mission. The new accommodation for 300 male patients is
about to be completed and will be brought into use shortly.
The difficulty of relieving congestion on the female side con-
tinues, however, to be felt and the question of additional
accommodation for women patients is under consideration.
2. Government have noted with satisfaction the
remarkable and steady improvement in health statistics.
There were only 29 deaths during the year as compared with
37 in 1936 and 44 in 1935. The death rate in 1937 is the
lowest recorded since the inception of the institution, viz.,
2.97, as against 2.58 and 3.96 in the two preceding years.
There was one death by suicide during the year.
3. Excluding Rs. 1,73,978 spent during the year on
the erection of new barracks and certain other new works,
the expenditure on the repairs and maintenance of the
hospital was Rs. 3,20,646-13-4 as against Rs. 2,90,944-13-9 in
1936. The increase of Rs. 29,701-15-7 is mainly accounted
for by the items, (i) repairs to buildings, (ii) purchase of a
new motor ambulance, (iii) cost of uniforms for attendant
staff, and (iv) restoration of 15 per cent cut and periodical
increase in the pay of the staff.
Recoveries from private
paying patients and
local
bodies
amounted
to
Rs. 292,191-2-8 as against Rs. 2,77,121-13-2 last year. These
recoveries were inflated during the last and the present years
for the reason that arrears due from certain local bodies
under the old system of payments were paid off by them. In
another year or two, all the local bodies will have paid off
2
such outstanding debits and the recoveries will thereafter
come down to their normal proportions and there will be a
corresponding increase in the net cost of the hospital to
Government.
4. The Punjab Government concurs in the thanks
expressed by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals to Lt.-
Col. C. J. Lodge-Patch, I. M. S., who held charge of the
office of Medical Superintendent and Dr. R. S. Sharma, who
officiated as Medical Superintendent for two months, during
the year.
Order.—Ordered that a copy of the report and of the
review be forwarded to the Government of India, Home De-
partment, for information, also that the review be published
in the Punjab Gazette.
Ordered also that a copy of the review be forwarded to
the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, for inform-
ation.
By Order of the Punjab Government,

No. 3510-G.
FROM
COLONEL G. G. JOLLY, C.I.E., V.H.S., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab.
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB,
MEDICAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEPART-
MENTS.
Dated Lahore, the 21st of March, 1938.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward, herewith, the annual
report on the working of the Punjab Mental Hospital,
Lahore, for the year 1937, together with the statistical
tables, and to make the following remarks : —
1. Population.— The year 1937 opened with 991 patients
in the hospital; 162 patients (139 males and 23 females) were
admitted during the year, 143 were discharged and 29 died
leaving 981 patients under treatment at the close of the
year. The total number of patients admitted was larger
during the year under report than that in the previous year,
viz., 162 against 149. The number of admissions would have
been still higher but for the strict control maintained in
selecting curable cases.
2. Sickness and Mortality.—There
were only 29
deaths during the year under report as compared with 37
during 1936 and 44 during 1935. Out of the total number
of 29 deaths, 8 were due to Tuberculosis of lungs, 4 each to
Dysentery and Debility and the remaining 13 to various other
causes. The death rate in 1937 was lowest since the incep-
tion of the hospital, viz., 2.97 as against 3.58 and 3.96 in
the two preceding years. The daily average sick was also
very low, being 49.45 during the year under report.
3. Accommodation.—The new accommodation for 300
patients on the male side is nearing completion and it is
hoped that it will be brought into use very shortly. The
question of providing funds for additional accommodation
on the female side is still under consideration. The problem
here is becoming difficult as it has been impossible to reduce
the overcrowding among the females and a number of
criminal as well as non-criminal women have had to be
refused admission.
