Couldn’t find a link to the report in the article so here it is.

It is hardly surprising that if a government invests in it’s people right from gestation that ultimately they save money.
I imagine these centres have helped parents feel ready for their child, care for their child, find appropriate care for the child so they can work, reduced illnesses causing health visits to hospital, because the parents have somewhere to get advice and feel confident taking care of their child at home etc etc.
It’s just more proof that if you care for people who are in poverty or are vulnerable it ultimately costs less to the country. And the article and paper don’t even cover people being about to go back to work and earn and pay taxes in the equations.
It’s typical to get multiple £ of benefits for every £1 spent by government.
Transport, education, some tax cuts and even military spending can also generate multiple £ of benefits for every £ spent.
It’s worth adding this context as the Guardian won’t.
I understand these centres were dismantled purely based on ideology. Can’t have poor people getting help even if it saves rich people money.
