The classification of products must be addressed in the upcoming Gambling Review. This is a digital age and these are the harms we are dealing with. The Act has to acknowledge and use precautionary principle when causation not yet available.

NHS mental health beds reduced by 25% since 2010 - leading to longer wait for treatment & many being sent out-of-area for their admissions. @TrudiSene1 @rcpsych @Rethink_ https://t.co/3JMoxs23gw

[Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych]

It's why we're calling for £43 million to be invested in these services. As @DrEmilyFinch points out "On top of all this, the pandemic has made a dire situation even worse, as even more young people have been left unable to access services."

[Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych]

Our warnings of cuts to young people's addiction services have been picked up by several outlets this morning. @DrEmilyFinch says it's 'unbelievably shortsighted'.
