Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to outline which categories of public sector employees within his remit currently have professional registration fees paid, and which do not.

Answer:

Health and Social Care employers do not pay professional registration fees for clinical or medical staff.

The Department may pay professional registration fees for Northern Ireland Civil Servants and other departmental staff if there is a justified business need for membership in professional bodies.
