The results of a survey carried out at Rampton and Moss Side Special Hospitals into physical and behavioural incapacity associated with mental handicap are described and compared with the findings of the 1970 National Survey. The Special Hospital patients were found to be less mentally handicapped than similar patients in subnormality hospitals in the National Health Service. The prevalence of physical incapacity associated with mental handicap was also lower in the Special Hospitals but the Special Hospital patients were assessed as more behaviourally disordered. In both surveys the incapacities present were concentrated in the severely mentally handicapped patients. In the Special Hospitals survey the women, when compared with the men, were found to be more behaviourally disordered and to suffer from a greater degree of multiple severe incapacity. All the differences found between the two surveys are consistent with the statutory criteria for admission to a Special Hospital.
本文描述了在拉姆顿和莫斯赛德专科医院针对与智力障碍相关的身体和行为能力丧失情况所开展的一项调查结果，并将其与1970年全国调查的结果进行了比较。结果发现，专科医院的患者相较于国民保健服务体系中低智医院的同类患者，智力障碍程度更低。专科医院中与智力障碍相关的身体能力丧失的患病率也较低，但专科医院的患者被评估为行为障碍更为严重。在两项调查中，存在的能力丧失情况都集中在重度智力障碍患者身上。在专科医院的调查中，发现女性与男性相比，行为障碍更为严重，且遭受多种严重能力丧失的程度更高。两项调查之间发现的所有差异都符合专科医院入院的法定标准。
