Rejected petition Re introduce the nit nurse to schools.

With the recent news that increasing outbreaks of head lice in school children are on the increase, nits are now becoming immune to treatments, parents are becoming frustrated with repeatedly finding their children with nits.

More details

Local authorities used to employ a school nurse or health visitor to check children's hair in schools and offer sound advice so the children could return to school as soon as they had eliminated the head lice preventing them from becoming so widespread.
