Schools: Nurses
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of school nursing services in (a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and (b) Staffordshire.

No assessment has been made by the Department. Local authorities are responsible for commissioning school nursing services based on local need and evidence. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities provides both commissioning guidance and a service framework through the Healthy Child Programme.
