This collection of essays by expert commentators develops practical recommendations which a newly-elected government could adopt in their first 100 days in office to put an early action approach at the centre of their work, or risk the future of important public services. It argues that, while the government will face many challenges, in almost every area there should be the same strategic choice: prevent now or pay tomorrow. Early action will not only reduce the demand for public services it will also deliver greater wellbeing and fairness and promote growth and opportunity. Areas of intervention addressed include: parenting and children; mental health; and social security. (Edited publisher abstract)
