VPRS 18807 Numerical Register of Patients and Staff

This series comprises a single volume which provides a daily statistical report of the numbers of patients in residence, and the numbers of resident staff on duty, at the Willsmere Unit and Surgical Unit of Kew Mental Hospital (VA 2840). The Willsmere Unit consisted of Wards G1, G3, and G4 which had been proclaimed as wards of a psychiatric hospital by the Minister of Health in the Government Gazette in January 1982 (Wards G3 and G4) and August 1983 (Ward G1). Psychiatric hospitals received short-term acute patients. The Surgical Unit at Kew Mental Hospital was set up in 1973 to treat all Victorian mental and psychiatric patients. It was closed on the 17 November 1986. It appears that the purpose of the information in this volume was to provide a daily record of patient and staff numbers to assist with compiling longer term reports. This Register was donated to the Kew Historical Society by the family of Dr. Fred Stamp, the last superintendent of the Hospital from 1981-1988, following his death. The Register was then transferred to PROV from the Kew Historical Society.本数据集包含单一卷册，记录了基尤精神病院（Kew Mental Hospital）威尔斯米尔病区（Willsmere Unit）与外科病区（Surgical Unit）的当日住院患者人数及在岗驻院医护人员数量的每日统计报告（档案编号：VA 2840）。威尔斯米尔病区包含G1、G3、G4三间病房：其中G3与G4病房于1982年1月经卫生大臣在《政府公报》中公告，正式成为精神病医院专属病区；G1病房则于1983年8月完成该公告程序。该精神病医院接收短期急症患者。基尤精神病院外科病区于1973年成立，专为维多利亚州所有精神疾病及精神病患者提供诊疗服务，并于1986年11月17日正式关停。本卷册所收录信息的核心用途为记录每日患者与医护人员人数，以辅助编制长期汇总报告。本登记册由医院末任院长（1981-1988年在职）弗雷德·斯坦普（Dr. Fred Stamp）博士的家属在其逝世后捐赠予基尤历史学会（Kew Historical Society），此后该登记册由基尤历史学会移交至PROV。
