Agree

No, incentivise private companies to address this issue instead

UKIP's general preference for market solutions and skepticism towards government intervention in many areas might make them more amenable to the idea of incentivizing private companies to address mental health issues, as this aligns with their broader economic and social policies.

Yes, but only increase funding for personalised care instead of subsidising pharmaceutical companies

UKIP might support the idea of increasing funding for personalized care as it could be seen as a more efficient use of resources compared to blanket funding for pharmaceutical companies. This approach could potentially align with their views on healthcare efficiency and effectiveness, although their specific policies on mental health are not well-defined.

Slightly agree

Yes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services

While UKIP has not specifically focused on mental health funding, their broader healthcare policies suggest a potential openness to increasing funding for essential services, including mental healthcare, especially if it can be framed as improving the quality of care and services within a framework of national sovereignty and reduced immigration.

Neutral

Yes

UKIP's primary focus has historically been on issues related to the European Union, immigration, and national sovereignty. While they have addressed healthcare in the context of these issues, there is limited specific information on their stance towards mental health funding directly, suggesting a neutral position.

Slightly disagree

No

UKIP has not explicitly advocated for reducing government spending on mental health research and treatment. However, their general preference for reduced government spending and more efficient public services might imply a cautious approach to increasing funding without clear efficiency gains.
