Informal admission of patients to state psychiatric institutions. 1977

J A Gilboy
Department of Psychiatry.

Informal hospital admission procedures require no written application by patients and provide that patients must be released upon their demand to leave the hospital. Statistics indicate that informal admission is infrequently used by hospital staff where the more restrictive conditional voluntary procedure is available. Origins of staff reluctance to use informal admission are discussed.
