(1) School/Community Health nurses are employed by the Department of Health (DoH) and funded jointly by the Department of Education and the DoH. In 2010/11, the Department provided the DoH with $5 979 108 towards the cost of the service. The question about the cost of employing 1.0 FTE school health nurse needs to be directed to the Minister for Health.
(2) The Department of Education does not have a Service Agreement with the DoH. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department and the DoH underpins the delivery of School Health Services in public schools.
(3) The final allocation of nurse FTE to the metropolitan public secondary schools listed in Question on Notice 6039 is determined by the DoH. The Member will need to refer the question to the Minister for Health for the current allocation for 2011.
