The County Asylums Act 1828 was an act of Parliament of the United Kingdom. It required magistrates to send annual records of admissions, discharges and deaths to the Home Office; and allowed the Secretary of State to send a visitor to any county asylum, although the visitor couldn't intervene in how the asylum was run.[2] It also allowed counties to borrow money to build an asylum, but it had to be paid back within 14 years of the initial loan.[3] It also imposed the requirement of a residential medical officer, whose permission was necessary to justify the restraint of a patient.[4]

Background

Issues of mistreatment and abuse, raised in a 1917 Select Committee report, quickened reform, leading to this Act of Parliament.[5]

At the time of Royal Assent, nine county asylums had been established in England, and the need for more was growing due to overcrowding.[6]
