The final reports on gambling have now been posted on Public Health website by clicking on the Problem Gambling link on the home page. There are two reports: a technical report and a shorter staff report that represents an executive summary. Please note that the estimated numbers of both problem gamblers and the related health and social costs have been removed from the report as these estimates were based on very small sample sizes.
The meeting is open to the community and members of the media.
