§ 21. Mr. D. GRENFELLasked the Minister of Health whether, as a measure to improve the accommodation in asylums, he will take steps to have notices put up acquainting friends of inmates, as provided under Section 79 of the Lunacy Act, how to facilitate the discharge of inmates to the care of their friends; if he is aware that in one case, where this provision was carried out and notices temporarily posted up, many applications were received and discharges effected; and whether he will advise that the Section referred to shall be utilised in the interest both of the inmates and of the institutions?
Sir H. YOUNGIf the hon. Member will send me details of the particular case to which he refers, I shall be very glad to consider what inferences can properly be drawn from it. In the meantime, I would refer him to the reply which I gave to his question on this subject on the 23rd February.
