The charity says Te Whatu Ora has rejected its bid for a contract renewal, despite providing gambling programmes for 31 years. \xa0

Social Services Director Lynette Hutson told Mike Hosking that they\u2019re not sure if the service will be replaced, but they suspect there will be fewer services available.\xa0
