answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>School nurses are not based in or employed by schools and they will usually cover a cluster of secondary schools and their feeder primary schools. The delivery of services within schools is for local determination and commissioning for the service is led by local authorities. Some schools will choose to commission additional school nursing capacity to meet specific identified public health needs. Due to the variable nature of a school nurse’s commitments no national data exists on the proportion of schools that currently have a school nurse.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 126246 question first answered 06/02/2018 12:13:35 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
