About this work
Description
From 1907, civil registers became the central admission record. They contain the following information: date of admission, whether private or pauper, previous abode and whence brought, sex, civil state, religion, by whose authority sent, dates of medical certificates, date of discharge or death, observations. Separate registers were initially kept for voluntary boarders and have been included in RET 6/2/5. From 1931 the civil registers included voluntary, temporary and certified patients Note that the medical information hitherto contained in admission registers was now entered into a parallel series of volumes, the medical registers, see RET 6/3. Civil Registers were superseded by the series of General Registers, see RET 6/2/9.
