Rejected petition Stop nurses paying an annual registration fee to register to do their job.

I want the Government to put a stop to nurses having to pay a registration fee each year.

More details

Every year, nurses pay over £100 to register as a nurse. And they pay even more if they have to register specific skills such as being a District Nurse or to prescribe drugs. The more valuable services they provide, the more they pay. They receive nothing back for this and pay Union fees on top. It is just so they can do their jobs. No other public service has to pay for this. Police and fire fighters don't pay to register. Put that little bit of money back in our valuable nurses pockets!
