Under HTM I think it says repeater panels are to be provided at nurse stations.  This would be a minimum of course

Depends on how the lads with the big red things with blue lights enter the building. ;)

HTM 05 03 Part B: 4.33

Additional control and indicating equipment,
capable of displaying the location of an alarm
incident to a similar degree to that of the main
panel, should be provided in each and every
management unit, and in any case such that the
travel distance to an indicator panel does not
exceed 60 m. Further control and indicating
equipment should be provided where required
by local evacuation procedures; in particular, a
repeat indicator panel should be provided at the
evacuation control point of any escape bed lift(s).
This should be the subject of consultation
