asked the Minister of Health if he will cause inquiry to be made with a view to ascertaining in how many instances during the year 1923 a private mental patient who had not been seen by a magistrate was, in the absence of any prejudicial certificate, deprived of the subsequent notice of right of appeal to a magistrate through the negligence of the managers of the institution in which he was received; in how many instances has the penalty for this negligence, as prescribed by the Lunacy Act, been enforced; and will he take immediate steps to secure the invalidation of all illegal certification effected in contravention of the Statute and founded on medical evidence alone in the absence of any judicial investigation or provision for appeal?
