Petition Action

Raise annual mental health budget by 3 billion now to protect future generations

Petition Details

Published figures suggest that 10% of tax revenue generated by alcohol, gambling and tobacco amounts to approx. 3 billion/year.
We believe ring fencing this proportion (subsidised by these industries) & increasing investment in mental health services could enable complete care for sufferers.

Additional Information

Mental health costs the economy 105 billion per year.
Through complete care and socio-economic empowerment the economic loss could be reduced in time. Future generations could also be protected through positive & proactive public mental health education.
1 in 4 people diagnosed each year;
1 in 10 children have a clinical diagnosis.
Do these figures include those suffering in silence?
In 2001 the W.H.O. highlighted the need for policies with effective treatment in mind.
