This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Get rid of the £120 year Nurses Registration Fee that All nurses have to pay.
Get rid of the £120 a year registration fee nurses are required to pay to be able to do their job.
More details
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
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.
