Suspend NMC registration fees for Nurses and Midwifes for 20/21

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that the registration fee that nurses need to pay to the NMC for working should be suspended or met by the government so that nurses and midwives can focus on care without the worry of meeting the fees.

Nurses and midwives have to pay £120 to continue nursing every year, in this climate we know that nurses and healthcare staff are beyond important, I don’t believe that they should have to worry about paying money to keep working, especially when they are so vital at this moment in time!
