GENERAL RULES AND CONDITIONS, DATED OCTOBER 10, 1902, OF THE GENERAL BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN LUNACY FOR SCOTLAND, AND APPROVED NOVEMBER, 1902, BY HIS MAJESTY'S SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND. AS TO THE GRANT OF LICENSES FOR THE RECEPTION OF PAUPER LUNATICS WHO ARE NOT DANGEROUS, AND WHO DO NOT REQUIRE CURATIVE TREATMENT, LUNATIC WARDS OF POORHOUSES.†

I.

INTO

The consent of the Local Government Board to the appropriation of portions or wards of poorhouses for the accommodation of pauper lunatics must be obtained before such wards are licensed.

II.

With every original application for license there shall be laid before the General Board of Lunacy (hereinafter termed the board) a plan, upon such scale and in such form as shall satisfy the board, of those portions or wards of poorhouses for which their license is desired. The application for license shall state the greatest number of lunatics of each sex proposed to be received. A statement shall at the same

time be made as to the quantity and quality of the water supply, and the board shall be satisfied that the extent of land attached to the wards is sufficient for the adequate outdoor occupation and exercise of the patients.

III.

The accommodation for lunatics must be entirely separate and distinct from that occupied by the ordinary paupers; the fittings and furniture must be in accordance with the requirements of the board; and separate grounds must be provided.

*The Order in Council of December, 13, 1889, making regulations as to the removal of criminal lunatics from and their return to British possessions, is printed under the title, "Colonial Prisoner."

These regulations are made under Sections 3 and 4 of the Lunacy (Scotland) Act, 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 54).

IV.

Whenever the number of pauper lunatics to be accommodated shall exceed sixty, unless the premises have been already licensed for a larger number, separate buildings, entirely detached from those occupied by the ordinary paupers, shall be provided.

V.

No additions to or alterations in the external or internal structure of lunatic wards which have received the license of the board shall be made without the written consent of the board, and without the plans therefor receiving their sanction.

VI.

The license shall be in the name of the governor of the poorhouse, and a new license shall be procured whenever a change of governor takes place.

VII.

The entire responsibility of the management and treatment of the inmates of the lunatic wards shall rest with the licensee, subject to the provisions of Rule 15.

VIII.

The license of the board will not be granted or renewed unless competent and properly paid attendants be provided in such numbers as shall from time to time be required by the board.

IX.

The admission of patients into the lunatic wards shall take place only on the sanction of the board, in accordance with the schedule in Appendix A. of these Rules. The interim detention of a patient for a period not exceeding seven days may be carried out, without the sanction of the board, on a medical certificate granted in terms of the form for the purpose attached to the schedule; but such interim certificate shall not be used except in cases where the necessity for the removal of the patient to such wards is urgent.

X.

Application for the renewal of the license shall be made in December of every year, and if the license has not been renewed before the expiry of January following, it shall be regarded as cancelled.
