abstract: In hot water: the RCN Emergency Care Association (ECA) is backing MP Mary Creagh's campaign to have thermostatic valves fitted in all new and refurbished homes to prevent scalding. The valves set bath tap water temperature to a maximum of 48°C. The ECA steering committee has submitted the subject of Ms Creagh's Hot Water Burns Like Fire campaign as a matter for discussion at RCN congress, next April.
