The majority came from Glenside Hospital, 374 patients (62 per cent.), and approximately 8 per cent. were referred from each of the following sources—Local Authority, Day Hospitals, Hospitals for the Subnormal, other psychiatric sources and non-psychiatric sources. Male admissions totalled 326 (54 per cent.) and female 279 (46 per cent.): of these only 84 (14 per cent.) were married with a surviving partner and 492 (81 per cent.) had never been married.
