To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with the Nursing and Midwifery Council on the proposed increase in registration fees for their members in practice.
Anne Milton (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Public Health), Health; Guildford, Conservative)
I met with the chair and chief executive of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) on
We have publicly made it clear to all the health regulators that we would not expect to see rises in registration fees unless an increase is essential to fulfil their statutory duties.
The Department expects the NMC to explore all possible options to avoid a fee increase. The NMC needs to justify any increase in fees to us and their registrants.
