        <text id="20141014d2c5f262f8c34a3590001033">Due to the redevelopment of the GHS Client Data Set, the Office for Problem Gambling is unable to provide figures for the second half of the 2013-14 financial year. It is expected that data for 2013-14 will be finalised and available for reporting purposes in late 2014. </text>
