Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to develop a national fixed framework for the treatment of gambling-related harm.

NHS England will be developing a national commissioning specification during the first half of 2026/27 to ensure consistent, high-quality care across all gambling treatment and support services nationwide. Given the evolving evidence landscape and NHS England’s plans to allocate funding to innovation and evaluation over the coming years, this document will be updated as required to reflect new findings.
