Responsibility for setting the level of the annual nursing retention fee is a matter for the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) under Section 38(1)(b) of the Nurses and Midwives Act 2011. As the agency is self funding, the Board must ensure that it has the financial capacity to undertake its full range of responsibilities, and as such, it must put in place a fee structure that enables the organisation to carry out its obligations under legislation and set its fees accordingly.
