The first phase of the building programme includes a Custodial Home, providing accommodation for sixty male patients on the ground floor and sixty female on the first floor, and consists of dormitories, day rooms, dining rooms and garden compounds. When the whole hospital scheme is completed this block will be used entirely for male patients, a similar block being provided for females. It also includes one block of quarters which will provide temporary accommodation for all the staff required to administer the Custodial Home and will finally be converted to barrack accommodation for amahs. Work on this phase was commenced in February.
