NHS England is reminding Estates & Facilities of the fire safety considerations when increasing the estate capacity of existing areas.
With NHS Trusts implementing plans to support additional levels of patient care during the busy winter period, this document provides an important reminder of the legal duties around fire safety. It also includes some basic checks that should be made in order to mitigate any potential risks when making changes to the NHS estate to increase capacity and patient throughput. If you have any queries please e-mail: [email protected] marking for the attention of Mazin Daoud.
