This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Registration fees for nurses are a matter for the Nursing and Midwifery Council, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to reimburse nurses for these charges for the next 12 months, or to provide a grant to the Nursing and Midwifery Council so that they do not need to charge these fees.

We have published a number of petitions calling on the Government to recognise the work of nurses and other keyworkers financially, which you might like to sign.
