The Director-General to the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer, Minister in Charge of the Department of Mental Hospitals. Wellington, Ist March, 1943. Sir, — I have the honour to present the annual report on the Mental Hospitals for the year ending 31st December, 1942.

I thank all those officers who are so loyally serving the Department under the present most difficult conditions. T. G. Gray, Director-General.
