I'd remove the requirement to provide RCD protection to additional sockets, or cables hidden in walls, where existing sockets and cables are not already protected. Fair enough if it's right next to the back door, but otherwise the benefit doesn't justify the cost. I'm not saying that RCDs aren't a good idea, but the right way is to provide cover for the whole circuit or installation.
It's crazy to have to provide an RCD for an additional socket for a television in a bedroom, where it's surrounded by others not so protected. I guess the answer to apply a sticker 'television only', but it shouldn't be necessary.
