STEVE Doszpot has committed the Canberra Liberals to permanent nurses in all four of the ACT’s special schools, with at least two nurses at Black Mountain School and one each at the Woden, Cranleigh and Malkara schools.

“The ACT Labor government still refuses to guarantee permanent nurses to all special schools, which has been causing significant stress for families,” Steve said.

“The Canberra Liberals want to give families peace of mind and that is why we’re making this commitment.

“All teachers and particularly those in special schools have huge responsibilities and the introduction of permanent nurses would result in improved care of students and a more appropriate sharing of responsibility for teachers.

“Joy Burch has failed to address parents concerns but the Canberra Liberals are now providing certainty for the future of families with children in special schools,” Mr Doszpot concluded.
