Dutch health minister plans prevention research talks after gambling-harm report
Health minister Sophie Hermans sent a report to the Dutch parliament on 5 November and said VWS would consult research funder ZonMw about including some questions from the Kennisplatform Preventie's agenda in an existing prevention programme. Whether the research will address gambling-related harm remains unknown; Hermans announced no dedicated budget or new measures for the gambling industry.
The discussions could determine whether gambling-related health harms enter the government's prevention research agenda.
