Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 2:12 pm on 30 January 2019.
Thank you for that answer, Minister. I very much welcome, at long last, the inclusion of gambling-related questions in the revised health survey. It's something we have raised year after year in this Chamber, so that is a step forward. But there is a lot more data that is actually required in terms of the impact within education, the impact on students, the impact on health and so on. It seems to me that this isn't something alone that we can rely on, but it is essential that we have a comprehensive, strategic collation of data to understand what is happening, because without that data it is impossible to actually develop strategies for dealing with problem gambling. I was wondering what strategies Welsh Government is considering with regard to that data at the moment.
