The Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH) has developed a briefing paper to highlight the health impacts connected to gambling and in particular problem gambling. This paper was developed to give information to Government Departments who are currently reviewing gambling legislation across the island of Ireland. IPH welcomes the recently published Northern Ireland Gambling Prevalence Survey as there is currently little information on the prevalence of gambling and problem gambling across the island of Ireland. IPH draws attention to the impact problem gambling can have on the individual, family and community health and well-being and welcomes comments on this paper which may be submitted to info@publichealth.ie
