The Committee have had under consideration the desirability of making provision for the accommodation in a separate building on the Asylum Estate for Private patients of a class able to pay a moderate sum (about 25s. weekly) in respect of their main¬ tenance and treatment. In this connection they have caused enquiries to be made as to the nature and extent of the accommodation of this description provided at other County and Borough Asylums, and a deputation of their body has visited the Asylums at the Isle of Wight and at Dorchester, at both of which Institutions separate accommodation for Private patients is provided, for the purpose of obtaining information on the subject.
