SEACLIFF MENTAL HOSPITAL.
Dr MTCLLLOP’S REPORT (From Our Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON. August 20. In his report on the Seacliff Mental Hospital Dr M'Killop mentions that there wore 37 voluntary boarders during the year. The general health of the patients had been very satisfactory. Dr M‘Killop adds: “During 1924 I trust it will bo possible to obtain grants for works of greater magnitude. The Public Works Department has at present under consideration plans of tho proposed new kitchen, bakery, stores, laundry, and farm buildings. The present kitchen, bakery, and laundry facilities are totally inadequate for an institution of this size, and the farm buildings are in an unsatisfactory and dangerous condition. Mr Callaway continues to take a keen interest in this hospital, and pays regular visits. The institution is, indeed, fortunate in haying a deputy-inspector who takes such a live interest in its affairs. To the official visitors (Miss Monson and Mr Slater), MrOummings (the patients’ friend), and to the clergy of all denominations I tender by sincere thanks for their regular visits and for their attention to our inmates.”
