The Salvation Army is raising concern about a loss of support services for people suffering gambling harm. 

The charity says Te Whatu Ora has rejected its bid for a contract renewal, despite providing gambling programmes for 31 years. 

Social Services Director Lynette Hutson told Mike Hosking that they’re not sure if the service will be replaced, but they suspect there will be fewer services available.

She said that there was no indication from Te Whatu Ora that their service was problematic and they were going to go another way.

Te Whatu Ora says it's not appropriate to comment,while it's in the process of requesting proposals to procure gambling harm services.
