hot water is not getting hot


hi all in our starcraft it seems we cant get our hot water hot 

we have had it checked but they said it was all right but when you shower we have it on full turn and it is only warm i can run my hand under the sink tap 

is this normal or what can we do about it

also with all this trouble in the hospital in brisbane with there hot water is it safe as they say if you lower the temp of hot water it does not kill bactiria 

is this true

there will be a tempering valve in the hot water line that normally keeps the temp to around 50deg which is quite low
you may be able to adjust or have it adjusted if you have checked all other possibilities so bactiria should not be aproblem
the water in the storage is normally at a higher temp it is only what comes to the outlets this is tempered
