<p>The most recent data currently available about the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender individuals who have undergone conversion therapy in the UK is from
the National LGBT Survey, published in 2018. Evidence from that shows that 5% of the
over 108,000 respondents said they had been offered conversion therapy, and a further
2% said they had received it. This data is not available at a local or constituency
level.</p><p>In October 2021, we published an evidence assessment and qualitative
study on conversion therapy undertaken by Coventry University.</p><p>The Government’s
recent public consultation on how to ban conversion therapy included a question about
people’s experiences of conversion therapy in the UK and abroad and we are currently
analysing responses.</p>
