Prioritise the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Appoint a senior Cabinet Minister NOW to lead a national campaign to stop and reverse the serious deterioration in the health and wellbeing of children and young people, deeply entrenched before the pandemic and now exacerbated by it.
If the Government doesn’t act now we are heading towards the least healthy generation of UK adults in living memory. Apart from individual human tragedies, the economic costs will be devastating. For example, obesity alone has an estimated price tag of £5.1 billion per annum ALREADY and much more money is needed to fund even the current demand for mental health services, with credible sources anticipating demand will skyrocket. Immediate and determined action is needed to safeguard the future.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you'd like the Government to create a new Ministerial post for the health and wellbeing of children and young people, or for an existing Minister to be responsible. We're also not sure what you'd like to be covered by a national campaign, such as raising awareness or changing policy.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
