Rejected petition Stop the NMC fee rise 2014

More details

Nurses are facing huge financial pressures and any rise in NMC registration fees would hit them hard. Over the last few years, nurses have had to cope with a pay freeze at the same time that the cost of living has increased massively. An above-inflation increase from £100 to £120 a year would be a shockingly unfair move for the NMC to make.

Registration fees were raised from £76 to £100 last year, and a further rise to £120 would be an increase of almost 60 per cent over two years.

The Government should intervene to stop this daylight robbery.
