Rejected petition Scrap registration fees for NHS nurses in light of Covid-19
The Nursing and Midwifery Council have recently emailed nurses to request that they pay their £120 registration fee for the coming year. This seems particularly unfair considering all of the work they have done for the public with Covid 19. The registration fee should be scrapped this year.
More details
NHS workers have been on the front line in this virus and are already underpaid for the amazing work they do. In recognition of all of their hard work, the registration fee should be scrapped this year as a thank you for all of their hard work.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
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: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/307399
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.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
