Can anyone point me in the direction of legislation with regard to fire safety in a new primary health care centre?
One group of users (to whom it is proposed part of the building is sublet) do not think it is necessary to have their clients received at the reception desk at the entry to the building. They feel it is accepable to just have them walk into the building and sit in the waiting room to wait to be called by the health care professional with whom they have an appointment.
In a large two storey building this seems to be a reckless attitude. What if there is a fire?
We believe that they are saying this on purely economic grounds. They do not want to employ a receptionist. Can they legally get away with this?
We have read the NHSFirecode but this did not really give us the answer.
Thanks
