Written Question
Schools: Nurses
Tuesday 25th November 2025

Asked by: Sarah Smith (Labour - Hyndburn)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Education on the role of school nurses in tackling health inequalities.

Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

School nurses are crucial in tackling health inequalities but we know we can do more to support them. That is why we are updating the Healthy Child Programme guidance, informed by the Department for Education, which will strengthen school nurses’ impact.

Alongside this, our commitment to publishing a new Professional Strategy for all nurses and midwives will help increase their impact in reducing health inequalities across the country.
