Positive to see the DHSC focus on the health harms caused by gambling in the new Men's Health Strategy. Gambling poses a high suicide risk – preventative, public health action will save lives. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The recent coroner’s verdict on the death of Lee Adams lists gambling disorder as a medical cause of death, further underlining the link between gambling and suicide. My thoughts are with Lee’s family, who have shown huge courage in seeking answers.

On Friday, the coroner ruled that gambling disorder caused Lee Adams’ death. Virgin Games failed to act on warning signs while other gambling companies blocked him. Instead, they kept sending him offers and incentives. www.thetimes.com/uk/law/artic...
