Nurses Registration Fees
Responsible department: Department of Health
We would like the Government to Review the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) with regard to the fees charged to registered nurses.
The NMC has said that it intends to consult on raising the annual fee for all Registered Nurses from £76 to £120.
Whilst having a regulatory body is necessary, we feel that charging 660,000 Nurses a total of over £81,000,000 for the priviledge of maintaining our registrations is unacceptable and a potential 58% increase in our fees at this time is inexcusable. A lot of nurses resent having to pay at all, to be allowed to keep our hard earned registrations and this potential increase is devastating to many.
Please sign the petition to encourage a review of the NMC and the charging of annual fees to Nurses

Whilst I do not object to paying to be on a live register, this increase is not acceptable.. the NHS is making major cutbacks which affect all the Nursing Staff, increasing our fees could have a devastating impact on teh number of Nurses willing to carry on working in such trying times
