	Some Statutory Admission papers were carried over to series 19851 - Seacliff Mental Hospital Patient Admission Files - where the patient was still in hospital after 1912.

	Between 1862 and 1868 the files only contained a Warrant of Commitment, and sometimes an Inventory of Money and Property, or letters from medical staff.  Under the Lunatics Act 1868, the admission of an individual into a mental institution became more regulated and required the following papers - 

	

		

			Notice of Admission
	
	

		Order for Reception of a Lunatic into an Asylum
	

		Certificate that a Person is a Lunatic and a Proper Person to be Detained under Care and Treatment


	Other documents that could also be included with these admission papers included -

	

		

			Inventory of Money and Property (Police Document)
	
	

		

			Letters
	
	

		

			Copies of Death Certificates
	
	

		

			Certificate of Discharge
	



	On 1 March 1912 the Mental Defectives Act 1911 came into force.  Under the new legislation, the regulations for the admission of patients were changed.  At Seacliff hospital they closed this series of records and all patients currently held in the hospital had their papers moved to a new series of patient admission files (series 19851).

	Some files included historical written enquiries relating to the patient that date from much later than the file itself. For privacy reasons, these enquiries will not be issued with the rest of the file until 100 years after the date of the enquiry.
