<p>The 2012 England and Scotland Health Survey estimated that the problem gambling
prevalence rate among adults in England and Scotland was 0.6% which equated to approximately
280,000 people. The latest data available is through the 2015 Health Survey for Great
Britain, published on 24 August (NatCen report), which estimated that the problem
gambling prevalence rate among adults in Great Britain was 0.8% which equated to approximately
430,000 people. We take problem gambling seriously and launched the review last year
and I hope to publish the findings in October.</p><p>Further information on the 2012
