    My grateful thanks are also due to Mr. Millet, Secretary of the Hospital Management Committee, who in the difficult transi¬ tion period, was of much help to me, and who has been of ready assistance in all matters relating to the day-by-day management of the Institution. VISIT The Board of Control, represented by Dr. R. G. Anderson, Commissioner, and Miss A. J. Crozier, Inspector, paid their official visit to “The Manor” on the 12th October. STATISTICAL TABLES FOR 1949. PATIENTS ON THE REGISTER DURING THE YEAR 1949 Feeble-minded. Imbeciles. 33 3 The majority of the patients on the Register during the year have been admitted following moral lapses or have been in moral danger, and therefore constitute a highly selected group and a special problem in treatment. None, however, are in the true “moral defective” class, though most are unstable types showing defects of temperament, and are also handicapped by coming from unsuitable or definitely unfavourable homes. GENERAL STATISTICAL TABLE Admitted under Order . 4 Discharged . 3 Transferred to other Institutions . 10 On licence on Trial during the year . 3 Number on Register at December 3Lst, 1949 23 The number transferred included a mass-transfer of nine patients to the Lea Colony, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, on July 18th. They had all been originally admitted to “The Home” from the Wolverhampton area and had been accepted back to that Region as accommodation became available, so releasing an increased number of vacancies for use in the Liverpool Region. In conclusion, I wish to thank Mr. Belford, the Chairman, and Members of the House Committee for all the valuable work they have done in the past and are doing, and for their unfailing help, consideration and support to myself throughout the year. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to be Your obedient Servant, ELLEN HARTLEY, Acting Superintendent and Matron. To: The Chairman and Members of the Management Committee, Upton Mental Hospital, Chester.
