HC Deb 02 May 2002 vol 384 c1003W
Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reason the fees for the re-registration of nurses have increased in the last year. [53232]

Mr. Hutton

Registration fees for nurses, midwives and health visitors are the responsibility of the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The increase, which was decided by its predecessor, the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting, and introduced from 1 October 2001, was to match increases in core business, notably on casework relating to professional conduct.
