Almost 100 people have died by gambling suicide since the white paper was published in April.
Still no sign of the consultations...

Is there REALLY evidence for microdosing psychedelics? @DavidErritzoe#BAP2023
As studies become more robust, there is weaker and weaker evidence- the strongest evidence is from non-controlled trials
➡️In fact, if you think your microdose is a placebo, it stops working! 🍄 🧠

Two new gambling clinics will open in England this year, as the NHS faces record demand for specialist support for gambling addiction.
Find out how people are already benefitting from NHS clinics, providing specialist support. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2022/02/nhs-l…
ALT Quote reads: ‘It is also absolutely right that the NHS now funds these clinics independently, recognising the harmful effects this addiction can have on the nation’s mental health, and that predatory tactics from gambling companies are part of the problem, not the solution.’
As National Clinical Advisor on Gambling Harms to @NHSEngland I am deeply concerned at the idea of a gambling treatment provider giving awards to the gambling industry.
Who on earth set this up and why? Same as respiratory medicine giving tobacco companies awards….
.@GamCare has recognised the quality of @paddypower, @Betfair & @SkyBetCareers standards to protect customers. We’re proud to receive an independent mark of quality & praise for our positive safer gambling culture across our UK & Ireland brands. More here: bit.ly/3SH22nd
