I am a parent at my wits end, tired of my daughter coming home from school with headlice, getting rid of them only for her to go back to school to get them again.

Why can't we bring back Nitty Nora, so that every child can be checked and parents informed which child has and has not got headlice.

Unless each child with headlice is treated, the ones that are being treated are wasting their time.

I have had hundreds of lotions free on prescription. I'm sure the Government would save money in the long run by having a nurse calling into the schools and combating the misery of parents who care to get rid of these pests, instead of just giving them free prescriptions.
