Not all NHS groups are required to register however, so the current scheme is unfair. The employer should be made to pay all fees associated with registration where the employer demands such registration.\r\n\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-11-10T17:23:48.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:34.891Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:39:53.982Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-11-10T17:23:48.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
