Stop charging Nurses an annual registration fee
The Goverment needs to waive the £120 fee a Nurse needs to pay to be registered to look after people.
I was astonished to hear Nurses have to pay £120 a year to be registered to look after people. Surely once passsing exams this would make them qualified. I am not aware of any other proffesion having to do this, a Mechanic doesn't pay an annual fee so they can repair vehicles, MPs dont pay an annual fee to sit in Parliment, no they actually get attendance bonuses. With this outbreak of COVID19 we are seeing nurses have put themselves at risk without the incorrect PPE caring for patients.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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: 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.
