Having just fitted a new bathroom, I now find that the hot water flow
rate is about half as it used to be, what could have caused that?

System is a standard boiler with hot water storage cylinder. Pipe work
for bath is 22mm, washbasin is 15mm. Pipe work is virtually unchanged
from previous setup, save for the inclusion of isolating valves. Taps
are connected with flexible hoses and I have checked those for eventual
kinks, their fine. Had to drain the system to make the connection and
the drop in pressure has happened since then.

Any suggestions of what could be the course and solution would be much
appreciated.

Almost certainly the taps. Pretty well all these days are imported from
countries where low pressure storage systems are unknown. You can probably
still get taps designed for low pressure - but the choice is likely
limited. So probably not the style you want.

The easy answer is a pump.
