    Gambling rehab centres open

    The Home Affairs Bureau has opened two new centres for counselling and treating gambling addicts.

     

    The premises in Tuen Mun and Tseung Kwan O will be run on a pilot basis for two years by the Federation of Youth Groups and Zion Social Service.

     

    The Tuen Mun facility targets youths and ethnic minorities, while the other focuses on the elderly and women.

     

    The Ping Wo Fund will provide $2.6 million for each centre over the period.
