On the Certification of Mental Defectives as proposed by the Royal Commission

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

The recent Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble Minded was occupied with two main subjects of inquiry. First, the existing methods of dealing with idiots and epileptics, and with imbecile, feeble-minded or defective persons not certified under the Lunacy Laws. Second, the constitution, jurisdiction and working of the Commission in Lunacy, and other Lunacy Authorities. The Commissioners were requested also to report on any amendment of the law which should appear desirable in relation to these subjects.
