Although problem gambling is not listed amongst the provisional diagnosis categories that IAPT treats, IAPT practitioners would be able to treat common mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety which may affect people with gambling problems.</p><p> </p><p>A new version of the IAPT dataset is being developed and it is intended that gambling problems will be recorded in the revised dataset. This would enable us to better assess the impact of IAPT services on people with gambling problems.</p><p> </p><p>People who experience problems with gambling can access services in primary care and secondary care including specialised mental health and addiction services. There are a range of services available details of which can be found on the NHS Choices website. For example, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust has a national problem gambling clinic which accepts referrals from all over the United Kingdom including those with mental health problems.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 02/05/2018 12:56:20 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

This includes looking at new and emerging trends in acquisitive crime where we work closely with the police and relevant industry leads. While there are various studies suggesting that the prevalence of gambling is higher in offenders than the general population, the issue of problem gambling and gambling addiction has not been raised as a specific issue during our conversations about acquisitive crime with the police and others.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 02/05/2018 14:37:57 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
