THE Duchess of Cambridge has urged parents, teachers and healthcare workers to give child mental health the "focus it requires".

Kate, who is due to give birth to her second child next month, has spoken out on the subject before in her role as a patron of charity Place2Be.

The comments come after the Government announced more than £1.25 billion will be spent on mental health services for children and new mothers in last week's Budget.
