Abolish the registration fee for nurses with immediate effect

Abolish the annual registration fee nurses have to pay to do their job with immediate effect & repay the fees already paid for this year.

The level of registrations fees are a matter for independent regulators such as the General Medical Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council, and not the Government or Parliament.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to reimburse health care professionals for professional registration fees, which you might like to sign: Reimburse health care professionals for professional registration fees

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to fund health regulators directly, so they do not need to charge a registration fee.
