About this work

Description

This book covers meetings of the Millfield Committee from 17 October 1919 to 16 July 1923. The first meeting confirms that male patients were to be taken; however on 16 May 1922 it is noted that there were then no patients in residence, so it was suggested that the role of Millfield should be reconsidered. Thereafter all the admissions noted are of women. The meeting of the Committee on 20 August 1923 noted that Millfield could no longer be carried on as a home for borderland cases, so it should be converted to an annexe of the Retreat. At that point, the work of the Committee ended; Millfield was thereafter run as a Retreat annexe, with its accounts forming part of the general Retreat accounts. An annual visiting committee was consequently appointed to inspect the Retreat patients at Millfield, and the remainder of this volume contains reports of this committee of visitors, 17 September 1923 - 14 May 1928
