Anne,
I think the difference is most Nurses are not on that level of pay so these costs come out of their pockets as most are employed not self employed. As Sharon says if we had as OH value for money it would be less controversial.

That is always the case for members of a profession including lawyers, doctors, architects, physiotherapists etc. Our predecessors such as Dame Sarah Swift fought for nursing to be considered as a profession and establish a nursing register in order to raise our status.

The problem is that the NMC are not there for practitioners – they are there to protect the public against unscrupulous practitioners.

Thanks Terri,
I wouldn’t mind but what do OH get for their money naff all unless some kind soul can point me in the right direction….
The cost will impact part-time Nurses the most as they pay the same fee even if they work 1 day per week. It may mean some decide not to work…that would be interesting as then they would lose a lot of talent and experience as many people as the get older decide to work part-time as they enjoy the role but some may feel its not worth it anymore. I mean you also have £200 to RCN as well. It’s a lot to pay out….
Am I a killjoy?

Hi,
I presume those of us that added our name to the petition have also received the e-mail below.
Looks like no decision has been made by the NMC yet but the NMC may decide to increase fee’s but they must do this after consultation.

Subject: HM Government e-petitions: The petition 'No to proposed increase in fees for Nurses and Midwives' has reached 64,133 signatures
Dear Teresa Goodyear,The e-petition 'No to proposed increase in fees for Nurses and Midwives' signed by you recently reached 64,133 signatures and a response has been made to it.As this e-petition has received more than 10 000 signatures, the relevant Government department have provided the following response: The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator for nurses and midwives in the United Kingdom (UK). It is illegal to work as a nurse or a midwife in the UK without being on the NMC register. To be on the NMC register, nurses and midwives must pay an annual registration fee. However, nurses and midwives are not alone in being required to pay an annual registration fee. All regulated healthcare professionals in the UK are required to do this to maintain registration. As an independent body, the NMC is responsible for determining the amount of its annual registration fee. This amount needs to cover the cost of its regulatory activity including quality assurance of education, maintenance of the register, development of standards, statutory supervision of midwives and the processing of fitness-to-practise cases. The Department notes that since the NMC was established under the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 on 1 April 2002, there have been a number of increases in the level of its annual registration fee. In 2004, the NMC annual registration fee was £43, which increased to £76 in August 2007. In February 2013, the NMC received a £20million Government grant that allowed it to protect nurses and midwives from the full impact of a further fee rise. As a result of this financial support, the NMC was able to reduce the amount of the fee increase from £76 to £100, instead of £120 as originally proposed. The Department is aware that on 26 March, the NMC Council is scheduled to carry out its annual registration fee review. On 29 January, in advance of this formal review, the NMC Council considered the level of this fee and took the view that an increase is potentially necessary for 2015-16 onwards to bridge a funding gap between income and expenditure. As of February, the NMC reports that further work to develop proposals and a consultation document is currently underway. The Department is aware that the level of the NMC annual registration is of key importance to its registrants, particularly within the current context of pay restraint and financial austerity. However, as of February, the NMC advises that no decision has been made. If, in due course, the NMC Council does propose a fee increase, this will be subject to consultation where the NMC’s case would be scrutinised. The NMC has a statutory duty to consult with any parties likely to be affected by changes to annual registration fee. Should such a consultation be launched in future, this will give interested parties the opportunity to contribute their views to this process. This e-petition remains open to signatures and will be considered for debate by the Backbench Business Committee should it pass the 100 000 signature threshold.View the response to the e-petition <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/60164&k=RjJLq6b3Zyt2uZDzSWkh%2Bw%3D%3D%0A&r=wXuzOhjUxnqNWzIUjflfT%2FETVkypyh2vSQMgEC%2FgFFE%3D%0A&m=xDut6CioHQEurJ17%2B2wRCph%2FFW3RuKFcbnX2k3YkRro%3D%0A&s=7c5991d7ac343afb2898c811ad5c3e7b1e5c077352ec5919dec4c1507ab2c817> Thanks,HM Government e-petitions http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/&k=RjJLq6b3Zyt2uZDzSWkh%2Bw%3D%3D%0A&r=wXuzOhjUxnqNWzIUjflfT%2FETVkypyh2vSQMgEC%2FgFFE%3D%0A&m=2ViAFhYjaoK%2Ff9UopQCi63tmQXMTMxK0WxlNWGcxFL8%3D%0A&s=122763c9c3f5613ec3e22a67ac3597311dc5130c8f549f87df163cc128c8cfd0> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/&k=RjJLq6b3Zyt2uZDzSWkh%2Bw%3D%3D%0A&r=wXuzOhjUxnqNWzIUjflfT%2FETVkypyh2vSQMgEC%2FgFFE%3D%0A&m=xDut6CioHQEurJ17%2B2wRCph%2FFW3RuKFcbnX2k3YkRro%3D%0A&s=a37bb69ab14070b1d6cc23d45a7cf53f7de81e8c7e8a08a2a9fd2e856832b576>
