The DH fire safety team will no longer offer technical advice. :(
The fire safety policy lead at the Department of Health has issued a statement saying that following a re-organisation of the work undertaken by the Gateway Reviews, Estates & Facilities Division within the Department of Health, to align it with how the wider Department works, the fire safety team have been moved from NHS fire safety work and now work wholly on the Premises Assurance Model project. As a consequence general advice on NHS fire safety will no longer be part of the work the Department does.
It's staggering how a Government Department can be so short-sighted in the not too distant wake of a series of high profile,fires in the NHS. ???
