The Administration of Public Mental Hospitals in England and Wales

Abstract

The report of the Committee appointed in December, 1921, by the Minister of Health “to investigate and report on the charges made by Dr. Lomax in his book (The Experiences of an Asylum Doctor) and to make recommendations as to any medical or administrative improvements, etc.,” was published in August of this year. It is a document of considerable interest and has been widely read and discussed, especially by governing bodies of the public mental hospitals.
