Bishop of St Albans asks about gambling rehabilitation

The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 15th March 2021:

The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to include consideration of issues relating to gambling harm in the professional sports community in the development of the cross-Government addiction strategy.

Lord Bethell (Con, DHSC): Due to the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic on departmental resources, work on the cross-Government addiction strategy has been delayed. The scope of the strategy is yet to be determined, with work on this expected to resume later in 2021.
