![1] No patient has suffered from Dysentery during the _ year. ‘The last case occurred in March, 1924. One female nurse has had mumps. Full parole has been given to 20 male patients and to 27 female patients during the year. This has been greatly appreciated by the patients, and I have not received any complaints concerning their behaviour. Football, cricket, and stoolball matches have been played by the patients during the season. The religious services have been regularly held by the Chaplains, The Rev. Canon Bell, and the Rev. Thaxted Cripps, who also visited the Wards each week. The Roman Catholic Priest has visited regularly. Deputations from the Brighton and Eastbourne Boards of Guardians have visited the Hospital twice during the year, and have expressed their satisfaction with the care and treatment of the patients. Dr. Branthwaite, a Commissioner of the Board of Control, visited the Hospital on December 9th. Twenty-four male and nineteen female nurses hold the Medico-psychological Nursing Certificate, and fourteen male and ten female nurses have passed the preliminary examination.
