HC Deb 21 April 1893 vol 11 c910
DR. KENNY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Boards of Richmond District Lunatic Asylum, Dublin, and of the Cork District Lunatic Asylum, have passed resolutions condemning the new rule of the Lunacy Board of Dublin Castle, which provides for the abolition of the office of visiting physician or surgeon to district lunatic asylums in Ireland; whether any remonstrances against this rule have been made to him by the general public or the Medical Profession on the grounds that it cuts off the inmates from all independent connection with the outside world; and whether he will have said rule re-considered with a view to its abolition?

*MR. J. MORLEY

I shall be obliged if the hon. Member will defer the question for a few days.
