Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what treatments are available for women affected by gambling addiction; and what assessment have they made, if any, of the percentage of women gamblers receiving treatment.

The NHS Long Term Plan committed to expanding the geographical coverage of treatment services by opening up to 15 specialist problem gambling clinics by 2023/24. Gambleaware commissions the National Gambling Treatment Service which offers a wide range of treatment services for gambling related harms, including for women.

The Government does not hold centrally information on the number of women gamblers receiving treatment.
