Annual Report 2008-2009 Pune altogether had 74 posts in various grades which were found to be vacant. In the Government Hospital for Mental Care, Visakhapatnam, none of the 54 appointed nurses (12 head nurses and 42 staff nurses) were trained in Psychiatry. The post of Occupational Therapist had not been filled up since August 1995. In Gwalior Mansik Arogyashala, contrary to the directions of the Supreme Court, there existed no continuity in the tenure of the Director. Other than this, curbs continued to be imposed on the administrative, financial and other powers attached to the post of Director. In the Institute of Mental Health and Hospital, Agra, various posts required to be filled up had been advertised and a good number of Class III and Class IV posts had been filled up on contractual basis. Simultaneously, requisite steps had been taken for in-house training of nurses and other para-medical staff. (iii) Medical Records Most of the Mental Health Hospitals were devoid of proper record rooms with computer facility of storing and retrieving data concerning the personal and family history of mentally ill patients. This was found to be true for the Institute of Mental Health at Kilpauk and the Mental Health Hospital at SCB Medical College in Cuttack. The record room of the Arogyashala too needs to be expanded or shifted to a more spacious room/place. (iv) Incarceration of Cured Mentally-Ill Patients Non-acceptance of mentally cured persons by their immediate family members/relatives was one of the major factors that resulted in their long confinement in the mental hospitals. The primary reason cited by the family members/relatives for this kind of behaviour was the fear factor related to ‘relapse’ of cured mentally ill patients. In Yerwada Regional Mental hospital, there were 595 patients whose average duration of stay ranged between 5 and 30 years. The predicament of cured patients posed to be a continuous problem in Government Hospital at Visakhapatnam and Institute of Mental Health and Hospital in Agra. 6.19 The observations made by the Special Rapporteur during the course of visits made to seven Mental Hospitals/Institutions were considered by the Commission and the same were subsequently forwarded to the concerned State Governments for taking required necessary action. The concerned State Governments were also requested to send in their action taken report to the NHRC. C.
