Creagh says: "The tragedy is that scalding accidents can be prevented. Thermostatic mixing valves can be fitted to domestic boilers to regulate water temperature and a law to this effect is being introduced in Scotland this month. I am calling on the Government to do the same south of the border. We need to change the law to stop these horrific accidents from happening."
Every year, around 20 people die as a result of scalds caused by hot bath water, and a further 570 suffer serious scald injuries, with children and the elderly particularly at risk. Mira md Roger Wilson applauds the campaign. He says: "Sadly, scalding injuries are much more common than most people realise. Perhaps it is not also realised that the solution - thermostatic control of taps and showers - is already an available, straightforward and proven technology. We urge specifiers, in private and public sector housing, to include thermostatic controls on their baths and showers."
Mary Creagh's initiative has cross-party support with backing from Liberal Democrat MP Annette Brooke, who is also championing the 'Hot Water Burns Like Fire' campaign, fronted by actress Amanda Redman.
