Get rid of the £120 year Nurses Registration Fee that All nurses have to pay.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Get rid of the £120 a year registration fee nurses are required to pay to be able to do their job.

No other profession is required to pay and annual fee to do a job they are trained for, so why should nurses who put themselves on the front line during lockdown be expected to pay £120 to stay on a registered, particularly when they are underpaid to start with. Getting rid of the fee would be a nice gesture and a way of saying thank you

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

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.
