![Statutory Supervision. On tlie 31st December, I!)45, there were 34S cases under Statutory Super\ ision as coinpaied with 331 cases at the? beginning of the year. The decrease is explained by the fact that few patients were placerl under Statutory Supervision during the past year whei eas accommodation was found in Institutions .for several urgent cases formerly under Statutory Super\'ision. Two patients died. The geographical distribution was as follows :— Cumberland . . . . .. . . . . I(i8 Westmorland . . . . .. . . . . 49 Carlisle .. .. .. .. . . ..131 Licence. During ]94u twelve patients went off licence. No less than five of these patients were discharged from Order and, while it may be early to regard them as permanently stabilised it is nevertheless pleasing to record that with one exception these patients appear to be doing well. There is, too, good reason to hope that the exception, who met the wrong type of com- panion, has learned the error of his ways and will make good in the future. Four well-tried cases had to be returned to Institution care, two inexperienced patients failed to survive the test and one patient on licence was admitted to Guardian.ship. On the other hand, eleven patients were sent on licence, and the figures given below show a net deci ease of one in the number of patients on licence at the end of the year — On Licence at 31/12/44 .. .. .. ..45 Returned or discliaiged .. .. .. ..12 33 New r.icence.s granted during 1945 .. .. 11 44 MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
