An earlier census, examining the diagnostic characteristics of hospitalised patients had been undertaken in [958. The results of the 1963 census provide, for the first time, an opportunity of examining some social, medical and demographic characteristics of patients hospitalised in Irish psychiatric hospitals. This paper analyses information from the [963 census. Happily, a similar census was carried out on residents in in-patient psychiatric facilities in England and Wales on 31st December, 1963 (Brooke, 1967), and comparisons have been made between the data from the two countries. In Ireland, data were gathered in individual hospitals by the staffs of these hospitals. Social and demographic data were recorded by nursing and clerical staffs and diagnostic information was supplied by the medical staffs. Since no instructions were issued to these staffs in an attempt to standardise the method of data recording, it is possible that diagnostic and other indices were applied differently in individual hospitals and by individual recorders in the same hospital. It is important to bear this fact in mind in interpreting the findings presented in this paper Tue, 01 Jan 1963 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/247931 1963-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10147/242151 Title: Irish psychiatric hospitals and units census 1981 Authors: O'Hare, Aileen; Walsh, Dermot Description: This is the third census of resident patients in Irish psychiatric hospitals and Units published by the Medico-Social Research Board. The first was in 1963 and the second in 1971. The census is of patients resident in hospitals and units operating within the provisions of the 1945 Mental Treatment Act on midnight, 31st March, 1981. Information was collected on each patient on a form that has been employed on every admission, discharge and death since the 1971 census and which provides information for the annual series of "Activities". Detailed instructions are issued to help in the completion of these forms. A reproduction of the form used appears on page 9.

The first level of information is national, the second deals with individual health boards and the third gives data for each hospital individually.
