چکیده
and in view of the large number of defectives shewn to exist in die country, of their increasing cost to the community, and of the insuffic-iency of the existing provision for their proper care, training, supervision and control, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND: (1) THAT, as for certain types of mentally defective persons the only effective means of care and prevention which is at present practicable, is by segregation of urgent cases in Institutions, Local Authorities be urged to press on the provision of suitable accommodation of this kind. (2) THAT a Royal Commission be immediately appointed to make full enquiries into the causation of mental deficiency, into its relationship to other abnormal mental conditions and social problems, and into any measures, including both segregation and sterilisation, by which it might be prevented. In connection with the above Resolution, the following letter appeared in the Times on 22nd July, 1929, and is reprinted here by courtesy of the Editor. Welfare has on numerous occasions drawn public attention to the social problem presented by mental deficiency and to the grave consequences and serious cost entailed by the presence of mental defectives in the community. These views have received full and striking confirmation in the Report of the Joint Mental Deficiency Committee of the Board of Education and the Board of Control which has just been published.
