NHS Northern Gambling Service Psychologist Fails to Disclose His Wife's Role in Gambling Charity
Matt Gaskell, a consulting psychologist for NHS Northern Gambling Service, is accused of not providing details over his wife's employment with the gambling charity Gambling With Lives, seen as a very clear conflict of interest.
The EGR report notes that a complaint has been filed by Jordan Lee, CEO of gambling-related harms awareness and education charity. The complaint alleges that Gaskell has shown favorable treatment to his wife's charity and "actively abused and spread falsehoods about the RET (research, education and treatment) sector."
In July of last year, Gaskell was tasked with providing evidence in a parliamentary select committee regarding gambling regulation. Individuals representing Gambling With Lives were also present. The whole while, Gaskell had yet to disclose his wife's ties to Gambling With Lives.
Gaskell also failed to notify of his appearance on YouTube videos for Gambling With Lives.
An industry source tells Gambling911.com: "This guy has been on a crusade to control this RET platform which controls who gets government funding to charities or responsible gaming groups in the UK. Well this guy wanted to basically block or ban companies that accept donations from gambling companies stating it is a conflict of interest. Meanwhile his wife is on one of these other groups that was likely looking to actively benefit from it.
"(His) Wife used her maiden name in working for the other RG group."
