Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many patients the National Problem Gambling Clinic in London has capacity to treat in a year; how many patients are currently receiving treatment at that clinic; how many referrals that clinic has received in each of the last five years; and what was the cost to the NHS of running that clinic in each of those years.

Information on the capacity of the National Problem Gambling Clinic, the number of referrals received, the number of patients receiving treatment there or the clinic’s running costs is not held centrally. This clinic is wholly funded by GambleAware which is a charity and as such the Department does not hold this information.

Information on the estimated capital costs, annual running costs or number of expected referrals to the NHS Northern Gambling Clinic in Leeds proposed by GambleAware is also not held centrally.
