Not my area of expertise, but I can't see anything in BS 7671 section 710 (medical locations) that directly demands LSZH cabling. It might not be as simple as that though - if the circuits are safety circuits then they may need to have some fire resisting properties (which isn't quite the same as being LSZH - although many fire resisting cables will be low emission, not all low emission cables will be fire resistant). Likewise there may be demands from other parts of the regulations which aren't specific to medical locations, but might include your particular locations, depending on the details. Also other standards/regulations might have a bearing - e.g. the Construction Products Regulations, or HTM series for NHS buildings in the UK. Not to mention customer requirements.

Thanks Andy for Clarification.
