title: Report of increase in NMC fees was pure speculation.
abstract: I wish to correct the misleading report about Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration fees (news July 1). The NMC recently held a briefing for journalists on our trustees' report and accounts. Due to careful financial management and prudent investment, the NMC has cleared the historical debt inherited from its predecessor, the UKCC.
