If this is the New Plymouth that is in New Zealand then the letters could be SM short for Stipendiary Magistrate. These

The Rowan family has a history of legal involvement around Whanganui to the south of New Plymouth.

Thank you all so much for your help!  :)

I agree it says Mr Rawson, senile changes of the brain and that she has been a quiet patient.

After having a quick search for a policeman named Mr Rawson in the small settlement where this patient was from, I found a court magistrate named Mr Rawson RM, so am thinking it is most likely him and that it says RM for Resident Magistrate.
