Amanda Pritchard, the Chief Executive Officer of NHS England, has noted a significant rise in the number of people seeking help for issues related to cryptocurrency betting and trading.
Pritchard highlighted the escalating problem, stressing the need for regulatory measures to prevent such addictions. She also pointed out that eye-catching advertisements for trading platforms serve as triggers for individuals prone to gambling behaviors.

questioned the NHS chief.
