answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>I am aware of this issue, which was raised with me when I met with representatives of the Lotteries Council on 23 May.</p><p>Section 4 of the Gambling Act 2005 states that where a telephone (or other forms of electronic communication) are used to participate in gambling, it will be treated as remote gambling.</p><p>Under the Gambling Act all operators that offer remote gambling are required to hold a remote operating licence. This means that if a lottery sells tickets face to face and remotely by telephone or online it will need two licences. The holder of a non-remote lottery operating (society) licence pays an annual fee of only £50 for an ancillary licence, if its remote proceeds in that year do not exceed £250,000. Annual fees for standalone remote licences range from £400 to £796 depending on proceeds.</p><p>I therefore have no current plans to amend the society lottery licensing arrangements in the Gambling Act.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 14/11/2023 10:15:32 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2015 answer text <p>This information is not collected centrally.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>No such assessment has been made. However, counselling services should be available as part of the wider mental health provision to support sexually abused children. This Government is committed to improving children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing as a whole, which will also benefit children and young people who have been victims of sexual abuse.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>National Health Service funding for mental health services increased by £300 million last year. Historically, treatment targets have only been attached to physical health – a problem the Government is correcting with £1.25 billion announced in the last Budget. This will direct funding to mental health services and will ensure people, including those whose mental health has been affected through sexual abuse, get the treatment they need when they need it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Our investment to date in the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme has made a choice of psychological therapies available for those who need them in all parts of England reflecting the objective in the Government’s Mandate to NHS England to provide access to therapies for around 900,000 people per year by 2015, with a recovery rate of 50%. IAPT include therapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to sexual abuse as well as therapies for depression and anxiety disorders which may result from the traumatic of the abuse.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In March 2015, ‘Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation’ published in March 2015, set out cross-Government actions to prevent child sexual exploitation or, where it has happened, ensure victims and survivors get the support they need. The Department and its Arms Length Bodies are taking forward the health related recommendations, which focus on improving data on prevalence so that commissioners can develop the local service response to meet local needs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence issued guidelines on ‘Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): The management of PTSD in adults and children in primary and secondary care’ issued in March 2005, reviewed in December 2011, and ‘Depression in adults: The treatment and management of depression in adults’, published in October 2009.
