Consider reintroducing a headlice nurse back into schools.

What the petition asks
This country has a problem with children suffering from headlice. Not only does this form of neglect directly effect the child(ren) suffering, it also has a knock on effect to the child(ren) they socialise with. It's about time we considered reintroducing some form of care back into our schools.
I have done some research, locally to find out how many parents would back this idea (alot have even agreed parents should pay schools to help fund it), the results were unanimous.
