The NHS is facing rising demand to help problem gamblers.
In her latest letter to GambleAware, she said the health service cannot address the "harms" brought by gambling alone, and neither is it the NHS's "job" to do so.
Last year, the overall voluntary pledges to GambleAware included £1m from William Hill, £4m from Entain and just over £4m from Bet365. According to NHS England, between April and December last year, 668 people with the most severe gambling addiction issues were referred to NHS specialist clinics.The gambling industry makes profits of more than £14bn a year in the UK.
