Rejected petition Bring the nit nurse back to all schools and provide free treatments to schools

Head lice entered my home resulting in my family nearly being torn apart I struggled to pay the extortionate fees charged by pharmacies for products that were ineffective I watched my partner cut off all his hair, dreadlocks that he had been growing for nearly 20 years the government need to do more

More details

The government must take more action to prevent the spread of these blood sucking parasites. I have spent days treating, combing, vacuuming, heat blasting everything in my home but my partners hair was not responding well to various treatments we purchased. Let’s take a stand against this together and fight to beat this insect! In 2017 when there are breakthroughs with major diseases surely they must be able to do more. All pupil premium children should also be given free treatment!!
