‹ Order of Business Nurses’ registration fees
Summary
Michael Healy-Rae objects to nurses being charged €350 after removal from the register; the Chair rules the matter outside the Order of Business, and the Minister gives no date for the health information Bill.
As the Minister is aware, the Government did a U-turn on the proposed increase from €100 to €150 in the nurses' registration fee. Unfortunately, a large number of nurses have had their names removed from the register and they are being fined €250 to get back on to it. In other words, they have to pay €350 for what should have cost €100.
