The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities will begin to distribute funding generated from the statutory Gambling Levy.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities is progressing work on the design of the new commissioning programme to prevent gambling related harms, alongside counterparts in Scotland and Wales, and is working closely with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and HM Treasury.
