Adequately funded universal healthcare would, yes. We have universal healthcare here in the UK but it has been starved of resources and doesn’t pay it’s key staff well at all. No one here questions the quality of the staff - from cleaners all the way up to senior consultants - the vast majority who work in the NHS are dedicated, compassionate highly skilled people but without resources and funding it can feel pointless.
Mental health takes a distinct back seat. The waiting list just for an assessment and diagnosis for ADHD for example is 2 years.
Things have to be investigated and tested, even when they seem obvious.
Usually things turn out as expected, but you also need to remember - at one point it was “obvious” that bad smells caused the bubonic plague and that leeches could cure a wide range of diseases. Sometimes what we consider obvious is actually a load of shit.
Besides, reports like this can tell us how effective getting that support might be, if it’s feasible to do on a large scale, etc.
They needed a report to figure that out?
Everyone already knew that, yes, but in order to get these who control the purse strings to yield cash to address it, it needs formalising.
Universal health care would solve the problem. As would a (gasp) UBI.

It’s simplier to do report about thing mostly everybody already know than finding real solution
