answer text <p>The regulatory bodies are independent and it is therefore for them to set their fees appropriately. All professional regulators, are aware of the Governments position, as set out in the 2011 Command Paper, `Enabling Excellence’, that we would not expect registration fees to increase, unless there is a clear and strong case that any increase is essential to ensure the exercise of statutory duties.</p><p> </p><p>There are eight Healthcare Professions Regulatory Bodies (excluding the Pharmaceutical Society in Northern Ireland where responsibility is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly). The Department does not hold information on the fees of the regulatory bodies. However, we have obtained data from each of the regulatory bodies on the Annual Retention Fee for the last five years which shows:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Annual Retention Fee for Healthcare Professions Regulatory Bodies 2010-2015</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Nursing and Midwifery Council</p></td><td><p>Health and Care Professions Council</p></td><td><p>General Optical Council</p></td><td><p>General Medical Council</p></td><td><p>General Osteopathic Council</p></td><td><p>General Pharmaceutical Council</p></td><td><p>General Dental Council</p></td><td><p>General Chiropractic Council</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£100</p></td><td><p>£80</p></td><td><p>£290</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£570</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>£100</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£260</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£610</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£260</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£655</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£270</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£750</p></td><td><p>£267</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010 -11</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£280 (Dispensing optician)</p><p>£325 (Optometrist)</p></td><td><p>£420</p></td><td><p>£750</p></td><td><p>£262</p></td><td><p>£438</p></td><td><p>£1,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department does not hold data on the number of investigations that have been carried out by each of the healthcare professions regulatory bodies.
