title: Improving fire safety in hospital premises.
abstract: According to the latest statistics from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, the total figures for fires in hospitals and medical care facilities from the last recorded five years are revealed, in aggregate, to be 10% higher than 1998 levels. A concurrent rise in false alarms has also been seen due to "apparatus" malfunction.
