§ 61. Mr. ROBERT RICHARDSONasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that Florence Hall, detained ostensibly under Section 24 of the Lunacy Act, 1890, in Guildford infirmary, is at present well enough to be employed in the work of that institution; and, having regard to the fact that her sister and brother-in-law have on more than one occasion applied for her discharge and are able and willing to give her every 1349 attention and a comfortable home, he will take steps to secure her transference to their care?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am advised that this patient's mental condition and habits are such as to necessitate constant supervision, and that she is unfit for discharge from institutional care.
§ Mr. RICHARDSONWill the right hon. Gentleman have inquiries made into the case, as I am informed that the facts are as I have stated?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI think that the hon. Member put questions to me about this case before. I have had inquiries made, and the result is as I have stated.
