Bring back the nit nurse in primary schools

What the petition asks
I want to start this petition as a single mother who is fed up of treating her daughters hair when others don't treat their children and nits just continuously circulate the schools.
It gets expensive and time consuming for parents who work full time. Not only does a bottle of Hedrin cost a small fortune but so does having to do all the washing that goes with it. When I was younger and the nit nurse was at the school having nits was unheard of, this is why she should make a come back and relieve us parents who actually care for our children. Please sign if your tired and fed up of repeating the same task every week.
