Description:Finding the right work for the right patient was vital to the asylum doctors and Superintendent, in order to maximise the therapeutic effect. Cheddleton Superintendent William Menzies was particularly keen on finding the right men to work in the (for 1900) technologically advanced boiler rooms. Work was rewarded either with extra rations, or later with hospital tokens such as these. These could be used to buy items or experiences while being treated at the hospital, in lieu of money. The system helped to reintroduce patients to dealing with money and budgeting for themselves before their release.
