§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the cure of schizophrenia by cardiazal injections; whether this cure is being applied in all public mental hospitals; how many hitherto uncured cases have been cured by this method of treatment; and whether the Board of Control has an approximate estimate of the number and proportion of patients who are likely to be cured or effectively relieved by the treatment?
§ Mr. BernaysYes, Sir. This treatment has already been investigated by two Medical Commissioners of the Board of Control and their report is in preparation. The treatment, which is still in the developmental stage, is being applied in a considerable number of public mental hospitals but information is not at present available upon the remaining points raised in the question.
