Regulus partner says NICE misapplied Gambling Commission survey guidance
Regulus Partners partner Dan Waugh argued that NICE breached Gambling Commission guidance when citing the Gambling Survey for Great Britain. NICE and the commission said the 2.5% figure in NICE’s press release referred to the survey population, not the UK population; the commission had contacted organisations 23 times over survey-statistic use from June to December 2024, with two corrections reported.
The dispute concerns how clinicians and policymakers interpret gambling-harm survey figures and their population scope.
