READ—
A letter from the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab,
forwarding the Punjab Mental Hospital Report for the year 1933.
REMARKS.—It is observed that the total number,
of patients treated during 1933 was abnormally high.
viz. 1,472, an increase of over 100 on the previous year
Even so, a considerable number, particularly of women
patients, had to be refused admission, and at the same
time a larger number of incurable patients than usual
was discharged to make room for curable cases. This
may be due to an increase of mental diseases, to a greater
reluctance on the part of people to look after their in-
sane dependents, to an increase in the number of patients
belonging to the neighbouring administrations or to
the increasing confidence in modern methods of treating
mental diseases. In any case, it is clear that an enlarge-
ment of the hospital is desirable. The matter was discus-
sed some time back, but financial stringency has stood
in the way. As soon as financial considerations permit,
the question will again be considered.
2. It is gratifying that the health of the inmates
was better than in recent years, despite the fact that the
projected improvement scheme for the Mianmir Storm
Water Channel, which runs alongside the hospital, is
only now about to be undertaken. Moreover, it was
noted in the review for the years 1930.32 that the
death rate had been considerably lower than the nor-
mal ; and from the still more satisfactory figures of
the year under report it would appear that medical and
health arrangements at the hospital have increased in
efficiency. It is, however, regrettable that there were
two deaths by violence and one case of suicide. It is
hoped that such occurrences will be reduced to a mini-
mum by the measures, which it was stated, were about
to be taken in the last review, viz. construction of
2
concrete cells for uncontrollable patients—a work which
has been completed—and an increase of staff, which is
about to be carried into effect.
3. The gross expenditure on the institution in 1932
showed a considerable fall by Rs. 33,000. In the year
under report there was a slight rise by Rs. 9,077 to
Rs. 2,78,796-2-3, the increase being due to various un-
avoidable causes. At the same time the net cost to
Government shows the considerable decrease of Rs.
43,704, the total being Rs. 2,35,092. The chief reason for
this fall in the net cost is due to the considerably higher
recoveries from local bodies and from private patients :
which shows that the new system of collection, by Super-
intendent of the hospital direct instead of by the Ac-
countant-General has proved efficacious.
4. Government desires to concur in the praise
awarded by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals to
Major C. J. Lodge Patch, M.C., I.M.S., for his efficient
management of the hospital during the year, and to the
other members of his staff.

Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab.
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB,
TRANSFERRED DEPARTMENTS.
Dated Lahore, the 10th of April 1934.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward, herewith, the statis-
tical tables of the Punjab Mental Hospital, Lahore,
for the year 1933 and to make the following observa-
tions :—
Population. Statement
I—Admissions, discharges,
etc.
1. On the 1st January, 1933, there were 1,004
patients (784 males and 220
females) under treatment in the
Punjab Mental Hospital. During
the course of the year, 443 were admitted and 35 re-
admitted making the total number treated during the
year 1,472 (1,167 males and 305 females) as compared
with 1,365 and 1,377 in the preceding two years. The
population would have been still greater but for the over-
crowding that exists particularly on the female side on
account of which several patients had to be refused
admission..
Of the 332 patients, who were discharged during the
year under report, 175 were returned as cured ; 72 im-
proved ; 56 not improved and 29 discharged otherwise.
The discharges under the last two heads were more than
those in the preceding year due to a larger number of
incurable patients having been discharged and transfer-
red to the care of their relatives to make room for the
curable cases.
