Workhouse infirmary
United Kingdom
Workhouse infirmaries were established in the nineteenth century in England. They developed from the Workhouse and were run under the Poor law regime. The 1832 Royal Commission into the Operation of the Poor Laws recommended separate workhouses for the aged and infirm. Clause 45 of the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 established that lunatics could not be held in a workhouse for more than a fortnight.
