EICR coding for no RCD protection in doctors surgery.

Hi All,

    Just wondering thoughts on EICR code for no RCD on any power or lighting circuits in my local doctors surgery. No sockets used for portable equipment outside of course. I coded it C3 6 years ago and strongly advised on a distboard upgrade which was duly ignored they just don't want to spend any money!

Thanks in advance

  • I had a similar problem with a local GP surgery too. They had no risk assessment and had staff bringing own electrical equipment - mainly phone chargers. I coded it a CODE-2. They tried to "negotiate" with me to get it changed as they were going to move out the building soon - the practice is still there six years later. I got the impression budgets were very tight. Strangely I have not been invited back and I suspect they either ignored it, or got somebody else in to give them the answer they were looking for.

  • The old gents (and ladies of a certain age) in here may remember when a GP's surgery consisted of a consulting room and a waiting room at the back of his house. Later, when GPs started practising together, they owned their own premises and, in effect, the NHS paid a rent. Nowadays AFAIK, working in NHS-owned premises is normal.

    I suspect that the bean counters seek to allocate the meanest of budgets and the doctors can do nothing about it.
