In dwelling unit NEC requires bathroom GFCI outlets to be on a dedicated, 20 Amp circuit, with no other loads connected. In health care facility (such as nursing home) NEC requires to have GFCI protection for personnel and to be installed within 3 feet from sink. Does dedicated branch circuit requirement applies to this type of facility? Electrical contractor stated that ALL GFI's need to be on a "dedicated circuit" (bathrooms, pantry, housekeeping closet). I was not able to find any information that would prove his statement. Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks
