READ—
A letter No. 3487-G., dated the 1st April 1933, from the Inspec-
tor-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, forwarding the Punjab
Mental Hospital Report for the triennium 1930—32, together with his
note thereon.
REMARKS.—The number of patients under treat-
ment at the end of the triennium shows an apparent
slight decrease as compared with the end of the previous
triennium, the number having fallen from 1,010 at the
end of the 1929 to 1,004 at the end of 1932. There
would have been an increase, but for the transfer to
the Agra Mental Hospital of all patients belonging to
Delhi. It is gratifying that, in spite of so large a
number of patients, and also of the fact that the
improvement scheme for the Mianmir Storm Water
Channel had not yet been carried into effect, the death
rate was considerably lower than the normal, especially
during the last year of the triennium. The percentage
of cures was also gratifyingly higher.
Cases of violence and escapes were very few
considering the number of patients and the size of the
staff. In the three years there were two cases of
suicide, and three deaths by violence, while eight
patients escaped, of whom two were still at large at the
end of the period. There were three deaths by violence.
Inquiry showed that inadequacy of staff and
unsuitable accommodation were partly responsible for
these incidents. The Government has since arranged
for the necessary increase of staff and also for the
construction of concrete cells for the confinement of
uncontrollable and dangerous patients.
An important chanige effected at the end of the
period was the substitut on of trained nursing sisters for
the Franciscan Nuns, who had previously looked after
the women's section of the hospital. The Government
takes the opportunity of expressing their deep gratitude
for the devoted work done for a period of many years by
those ladies.
2
It will be observed that the expenditure for the last
year of the triennium was Rs. 33,000 less (Rs. 2,69,719
as against Rs. 2,92-688) than in the second year, owing
to considerable retrenchments being effected in view of
the financial depression. The net is considerably less
than the gross expenditure on the hospital allowance
being made for payments by or on behalf of patients, and
miscellaneous receipts (such as manufactures and garden
products). In 1932, for example, the net cost as so
reckoned, was Rs. 1,05,595.
Major C. J. Lodge Patch, M.C., I.M.S., continued to
be in charge of the hospital throughout the period
except for 6 months when he was absent on leave during
1931, when the Deputy Superintendent, Dr. Sharma,
officiated. Government desire once more to express their
thanks for the keenness and efficiency with which the
Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent discharged
their duties.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of the report and of
the review be forwarded to the Government of India,
Home Department, 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
information.

To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB,
TRANSFERRED DEPARTMENTS.
Dated Lahore, the 1st of April, 1933.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward, herewith, the report
of the Punjab Mental Hospital, Lahore, for the triennial
period 1930 to 1932, together with the statistical tables
for the year 1932 and to make the following remarks.
Statement
I—Admis-
sions and Discharges, etc.
2. Population.—The number of patients remaining
under treatment on 1st January,
1932, was 986 (769 males and 217
females). The admissions during the
year under report were 379, of these 44 were readmis-
sion cases. The total number treated during the year
was 1,365 (1,082 males and 283 females) as compared
with 1,377 and 1,392 in the two preceding years. As
explained by the Medical Superintendent, the decrease
in the population is due to the transfer to Agra of all the
patients belonging to Delhi. There is, however, every
reason to believe that with the acceptance of the scheme
proposed by this office regarding the cost of maintenance
being recovered from local bodies on a subscription or
donation basis, the admissions will tend to increase in
future years.
The total number of patients discharged from this
institution during the year was 285, viz., 186 " cured, "
56 " improved, " 33 " not improved " and 10 " dis-
charged otherwise. " It is satisfactory to observe from
Statement No. I appended to the report that the number
of patients discharged as " cured " is steadily increasing
year by year.
The maximum number of patients confined in the
Mental Hospital on any one night during 1932 was 1,016
(799 males and 217 females).

3. Sickness and Mortality.— The year under report
was an exceptionally healthy one. The percentage of
deaths to the daily average strength was 7.68, which is
the lowest on record since 1904. There were 76 deaths
in all. Of these 10 were due to Pneumonia, 7 to Debility,
10 to Helmenthiasis, 8 to Tuberculosis, 9 to Status
Epilepticus and 17 to Diarrhœa and Dysentery. The
remaining 15 deaths were due to various other causes,
which it is not necessary to detail here.
Criminal Patients—State-
ment II.
4. The number of criminal patients treated during
the year under report was 224 (220
males and 4 females). forty-three
patients of this class were admitted
in 1932, all of whom were males.
Suicide, Escape and
Death from Violence.
5. No cases of suicide occurred during the year
under report. The number of escapes
during the year was 4, of whom 2
were subsequently recaptured. There
were 2 cases of death from violence.
Types of Insanity-
Statement VI.
6. This statement is self-explanatory, and calls for
no remarks.
Cash Account—State-
ment VIII.
7. The total amount drawn from the treasury dur-
ing the year under report was
Rs. 2,21,355-0-2 as compared with
Rs. 2,44,488-10-5 and Rs. 2,10,022-1 3
in 1931 and 1930 respectively. The figures show
a marked decrease as compared with 1931, the decrease
being chiefly due to the lower rates obtained for food
supplies during the year under report. The 10 per cent.
and 15 per cent. cuts effected in the salaries of the estab-
lishment are also responsible for the fall in figures.
The rise in figures for 1931 over those of the pre-
vious year was attributable to the fact that, as ex-
plained in the report for 1931, in former years the
amounts received from private patients were disbursed
to the contractor and only hospital and electrical char-
ges, etc., were credited to Government while now the
whole amount is credited into the treasury and all pay-
ments to the contractor and servants, pay are drawn
from the Government Treasury.

The total receipts from local bodies and private
paying patients amounted to Rs. 1,24,994-14-5, as
against Rs. 68,287-7-9 in 1930 and Rs. 81,094-12-10 in
1931. The system of direct recoveries by the Punjab
Mental Hospital has proved far more satisfactory than
the one formerly in force, viz., recoveries through the
Accountant-General, Punjab.
The total expenditure during the year under report
including that incurred by the Public Works Depart-
ment on buildings was Rs. 2,69,719 as compared with
Rs. 2,92,688 in 1931 and Rs. 2,70,158 in 1930. Deduct-
ing the receipts, viz., Rs. 1,64,190 from the actual ex-
penditure, viz., Rs. 2,69,719 there remains a sum of
Rs. 1,05,529 which represents the net cost of the insti-
tution to the Government.
The receipts, it may be observed, include outstand-
ings and arrears of previous years realised during the
year under report, while recoveries for some of the
patients actually treated in 1932 have yet to be made.
This is unavoidable as recoveries from the local bodies
are effected in arrears and the nominal rolls are prepar-
ed according to the financial year. This fact has been
fully recognised by the Punjab Government in their
letter to the Government of India forwarding the report
for 1931 and need not, therefore, be elaborated here any
further.
The cost of maintenance per head of patients dur-
ing the year 1932 was Rs. 272-11-6 as against Rs.
294-12-0 in 1931 and Rs. 265-8-0 in 1930.
The amendment to form 8 referred to in paragraph
8 of Punjab Government letter No. 1084-S. (Medical),
dated the 7th June, 1932, has been made in the report
under review.
Manufactures—State-
ment X.
8. The profit which accrued from manufactures
and the hospital garden was Rs.
17,928-12-6 as compared with Rs.
26,776-1-3 and Rs. 24,993-12-0 of
the two preceding years. The decrease is attributed to
two factors. Firstly, the garden produce of vegetables
supplied to the institution was reckoned at the market
rate which was very much lower than in former years.
Secondly, owing to the fact that there is now practically
4
no demand for manufactured articles, such as munj-
mats, dasuti cloth, etc., by the public, the manufactures
were restricted to the bare needs of the institution.
9. Owing to the grave financial stringency, which
has prevailed for the last three years, it has not been
possible for Government to give effect to the various
recommendations made by the Re-organization Com-
mittee which met in 1929. It is to be hoped that, as the
financial condition of the province improves, steps will
be taken to provide the additional accommodation re-
quired in the Punjab Mental Hospital and to improve
its sanitary condition. It may be mentioned here that
the Franciscan Sisters, who had done good work in this
hospital for many years, have now been replaced by one
Matron and four qualified Nurses. This is a very desir-
able improvement.
10. My acknowledgments are due to Major C. J.
Lodge-Patch, M. C., I.M.S., who discharged the onerous
duties of Medical Superintendent with marked zeal and
efficiency throughout the year, and to Dr. R. S. Sharma,
M.B., B.S., P.C.M.S. and other members of the staff who
ably assisted him.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
D. P. GOIL, COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab.
