Petition Reduce the ielts score for English born nurses who completed nursing outside EU

I was born & school/colleged in the UK, then travelled to NZ in 2004 & completed my nursing degree & worked in Emergency. I am now struggling to come back & work in the UK due to british council requirements of the ielts score of 7 which has nothing to do with Nursing!

British citizen school/college in Portsmouth.
Trained in New Zealand as nurse at University.
Now trying to continue nursing in own country but too many barriers in doing so, due to British council policies in making everyone sit the ielts exam at £150 per time which has NOTHING to do with Nursing.
UK hospitals screaming out for nurses, something needs to change, I'M ENGLISH and passionate about my nursing.
