title: Lack of choice.
abstract: I would like to make a comment, in light of my own experience concerning Colin Ralph's letter about UKCC reregistration fees (Nursing Standard week ending January 2). He states that the majority of practitioners support the move to periodic reregistration. I would argue with this statement. Nurses are paying because failure to do so means loss of registration, therefore loss of right to practice, therefore loss of means to earn a living. Because I believe this to be undemocratic I refused to pay.
