It comes as the NHS in England has seen a steep rise in demand for support for “gambling-related harms”. As a result, the NHS is launching seven more specialist gambling clinics to support people who are struggling. “And I think actually would be really great to see the gambling industry and also organisations like football clubs really think seriously about their responsibilities here too.”She said that the NHS has seen a “really significant” increase in demand for its gambling addiction services. “And for people who have got severe gambling addiction, it’s a really cruel disease and it’s a life destroyer. “Today we’re opening seven more clinics that brings the total to 15 specialist clinics.”The new NHS clinics are to be set up in Milton Keynes, Thurrock, Bristol, Derby, Liverpool, Blackpool, and Sheffield.
