Administrative history
In 1915 the Norfolk County Asylum was offered to the War Office for use as a War Hospital.

The Medical Superintendent became Officer Commanding the Hospital until 1919 when control of the hospital reverted to the control of a Committee of Visitors. A full account of this period in the hospital's history can be found in the Annual Report for 1920 and a list of patients transferred was separately published.
