More gambling clinics set up after record demand

NHS England is opening seven new gambling addiction clinics, almost doubling the existing number, in response to a record high number of referrals for gambling support.
Referrals for gambling addiction support have risen from 775 to 1,389 in the past two years, with children and adults being bombarded with gambling adverts and the ease of gambling on smartphones.
Critics accuse the government of being slow to implement promised reforms to protect gamblers, while campaigners welcome the new clinics as a step towards normalizing access to treatment for gambling harm.
