Rejected petition Stop NHS Staff paying £120 Fee to NMC for 2020 &review to scrap at a later date
Not only are NHS staff putting their lives at risk daily in the current situation but they are paying £120 to NMC for the privilege to do so. It’s absolutely shocking!! At a time this country is asking the individuals in the NHS to go above and beyond this payment should be cancelled for 2020.
More details
We would like to ask for an immediate stop to the fees for all NHS members for 2020 and a refund for those who have already made payment.
Everyone else is getting a helping hand from the government to some extent At the moment so this would be a helpful gesture of gratitude towards all the people helping deal with this unprecedented situation.
Then to be reviewed at a later date to scrap this completely.
