6 ANNUAL REPORT ON MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1936.
Statement VIII.
18. The total expenditure for the year of both the institutions was
Rs. 478,068-12-7 (Rs. 496,630-0-2). The total
receipts during the year were Rs. 4,72,591-15-1
(Rs. 4,89,793-3-5). The decrease in both receipts and expenditure
is due to the reduction in the number of inmates in the hospitals. The
average cost per patient was Rs. 295 (Rs. 249) at Tadagale and
Rs. 147-12-3 (Rs. 137-13-5) at Minbu. The increase in the rate at
Tadagale is due to the decrease in the number of patients while the
increase in the rate at Minbu is mainly due to the increased expenditure
under establishment.
