UK parents, particularly mothers, are more likely to be worried about their children's mental health, than any other health issue. Some 2,267 parents were surveyed by Action for Children, and 40% said that emotional well-being was a paramount concern.

To help allay their fears, YouGov chief executive, Sir Tony Hawkhead is calling for a shift in funding toward early intervention, rather than dealing with major problems.

A spokesman for the Local Government Association stated,

"Focusing money on tackling root causes of problems rather than treating symptoms provides a better deal for the public purse and for the people we are trying to support - and is vital if we are to make public services sustainable in the long term."
