Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Yearly subscriptions to NMC to be wavered as a good will gesture to all NHS Nurses/ Midwives amid the coronavirus pandemic for all their hard work over this challenging time. Giving up a lot of their time and risking it all on the front line to help others in need.

NHS Nurses/ Midwives have worked extra hard during the virus putting themselves and their families further at risk. As well as the normal everyday duties they are expected to carry out the virus has obviously added extra risk.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Whether to charge registration fees is an operational matter for independent bodies including the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and not the Government or Parliament.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to reimburse NHS nurses for professional registration fees, which you might like to sign:
Reimburse all NHS nurses for their annual registration fees
