Voluntary Patients in Asylums

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Stanley Haynes*
Affiliation:
Laverstock House Asylum, near Salisbury

Extract

It has appeared to me highly desirable, if not requisite, that there should be some extension of the present system for the admission of boarders into establishments for the insane, and that the anomalous and confusing condition of the existing laws referring to them, by which each division of our country has its enactments at variance with the others, should be amended in such a manner that all parts of Great Britain and Ireland should be subject to one scheme of legislation on the subject.
