3. In the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph curative
treatment must obviously be carried on under serious disadvantages.
In the
three years only 63, 67 and 60 paying patients could be admitted ; nor is there
any suitable accommodation for them. A scheme has however almost been
worked out for constructing paying patients' wards and for changing a scale of
fees which when the wards are full should make them completely self-support-
ing. Again the progressive decrease in the percentage of cures to admissions
which was 27.41 in 1927, 27.36 in 1928, and 18.60 in 1929 may reasonably be
ascribed to the fact that in the last two years the Superintendent has been
unable to admit any but dangerous patients who are mostly incurable. It is
therefore satisfactory to find that the percentage of deaths to daily average
strength, which was 3.30, 3.41 and 1.91 in the three years has decreased
appreciably as has also the daily average number of sick patients which was
65.45, 68.67 and 57.42 in each of the three years. Meanwhile there has
been an increase in the number of treatments by hydrotherapy (9, 39 and
43) in the three years ; the weaving section has been considerably expanded,
and to those who remember the Patna Mental Hospital the list of amusements
which includes dramatic performances, a radio set, concert performances,
feasts and picnics, makes pleasant reading.
4. The more interesting figures relating to finance are first those of the
increase in receipts which rose (in thousands of rupees) from 14 in 1927 to 18
in 1928 and to 20 in 1929 and which was due mainly to an increase in sales of
manufactures and vegetables from the vegetable garden, and secondly those of
the average annual cost per patient which stood at Rs. 375, Rs. 357 and
Rs. 418, exclusive of Public Works Department charges, and including those
charges, at Rs. 442, Rs. 475 and Rs. 605 in the three years. The increase in
these charges was due to an inevitable increase in construction expenditure
which amounted to 95, 1,58 and 2,30 in each of the three years. The quarters
required for the existing staff according to the present scale of accommodation
are now almost completed except quarters for the matron and nurses, for which
funds have not yet been found.
5. The thanks of Government are due to the Members of the Managing
Committee for the valuable assistance which they have rendered ; to the
visitors for the encouragement which they have given to the patients by their
visits, to Major Dhunjibhoy for the energy and administrative ability with
which he has continued to run the institution, and to Dr. P. C. Das, for
successfully carrying on the administration in Major Dhunjibhoy's absences.
By order of the Government of Bihar and Orissa
(Ministry of Local Self-Government),
