Labour says it will "end the scandal of neglect" of child mental health issues if it wins May's general election.

Leader Ed Miliband will use a visit to a mental health group to say greater emphasis is needed on prevention, early intervention and better support.

It forms part of his plans to improve mental health provision in England.

Mr Miliband will say the proposals would save NHS money and improve care. Ministers have said they are working to improve mental health care.

During his visit to Enfield, north London, Mr Miliband will launch a report by an independent taskforce he set up in 2012 to devise a strategic plan for mental health in society.
