This information is not available. The data that HM Revenue and Customs hold on charitable donations and associated tax reliefs cannot be broken down into such sector specific details.

There are tax incentives already available for businesses which support not-for-profit and charitable organisations. Qualifying donations receive corporation tax relief, and sponsorship payments are tax deductible as business expenses.

Charities whose main purpose is to provide air ambulance services have been included in the VAT refund scheme since April 2014, meaning they can claim refunds of VAT incurred on their non-business activities.

HM Revenue and Customs does not hold information on total tax revenues from charities that can be broken down to this level of detail.

Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) is a tax on the insurer, and there is no obligation to pass the increase on to the customer.

All tax policy is kept under review, however, it would be challenging to implement an exemption for insurance purchased by any specific group. Any such legislation would be very difficult for insurers to implement since this would require them to differentiate between customers who were buying the same type of insurance products.

Charities are a vital part of our society and the Government continues to support them and their donors, including through tax reliefs worth over £5 billion in 2015-16.

Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) is a tax on all general insurance paid by insurers, and it is therefore up to insurers to decide whether to pass on any tax paid.

Charities are a vital part of our society and the Government continues to support them and their donors, including through tax reliefs worth over £5 billion in 2015-16.

While all tax policy is kept under review, it would be challenging to implement an exemption for insurance purchased by any specific group.

The introduction of the National Living Wage marked an important step towards building an economy that works for everyone. It ensures that low-wage workers are fairly rewarded for their contribution to a growing economy. At £7.20, it is a 50p increase on the National Minimum Wage and means a pay rise for over a million workers aged 25 and over across the UK.

The Government’s assessment of the effects of the National Living Wage is contained within the published impact assessment, which is available at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2016/9780111141625/impacts/2016/3.

Rather than prosecute Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) for operating incorrectly, any club that does not meet the new regulations, introduced in April 2015, will be de-registered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and assessed for potential Capital Gains Tax charges on the deemed disposal and acquisition of assets.

Statistics are not kept on former CASCs that set up a charity that they subsequently register with HMRC. These new charities are required to simply register the charity with HMRC in the normal way.

Endometriosis can be asymptomatic; however, some studies have shown that the length of time from the onset of symptoms to the diagnosis of endometriosis can be up to eight years in the United Kingdom.

Due to the fact that endometriosis can be asymptomatic it is not possible to estimate the precise prevalence of the condition. The number of people who are affected by endometriosis but have not been diagnosed with the condition is therefore unknown.

However, estimates of the prevalence of the condition range from 2% to 10% of women of reproductive age, to 50% of infertile women. Endometriosis UK estimates that around 1.5 million to 2 million women in the UK have the condition.

The number of people who have been diagnosed with endometriosis is not collected centrally. However the table below shows a count of finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a primary or secondary diagnosis of endometriosis, for the years 2010-11 to 2014-15. However, the data only includes the diagnosis of endometriosis where there was a hospital admission. There may be further cases of the condition that were diagnosed and treated in another healthcare setting. These data should not be described as counts of people as the same person may have been admitted to hospital on more than one occasion within any given time period.

Public Health England (PHE) ran a local pilot campaign in October – November 2014, specifically targeting prostate cancer within Black African-Caribbean men, because of their significantly increased risk of developing prostate cancer. The campaign was delivered in partnership with Prostate Cancer UK and was designed to support their awareness raising activity.

The campaign ran in six London boroughs – Hackney, Haringey, Newham, Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham – and was delivered mainly through face to face activity, supported by posters in key outdoor locations and in salons and a programme of targeted public relations.

PHE will also shortly be re-running the national campaign on “Blood in Pee. Although primarily aimed at bladder and kidney cancer, blood in the urine can also be a sign of prostate cancer.

Charities with an interest in children’s cancer services are involved in the ongoing work that NHS England performs through the Clinical Reference Groups (CRG) to provide a key role in major cancer improvements. For example, the Teenage Cancer Trust is represented on the Teenage and Young Adults CRG and CLIC Sargent and the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group support the Children’s Cancer CRG.

NHS England also works with the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group on treatment guidelines that are used across cancer services.

Public Health England and Departmental officials also work with stakeholders from charities with an interest in children’s cancer services. For example, earlier this year officials met with representatives of The Brain Tumour Charity to discuss the Headsmart campaign, which aims to raise awareness of brain tumour symptoms in children and young people and to reduce the time for diagnosis.

As a result of this meeting, the charity gave a presentation about the HeadSmart campaign to the Department’s School Nursing Partnership Implementation Group on 17 March. The group was receptive and committed to help promote and support the campaign, which included disseminating symptom cards where appropriate and putting information in newsletters and journals.

Since 2010 the Department has provided almost £16 million additional funding to improve the provision of cells in the United Kingdom. Bone marrow donors are recruited by NHS Blood and Transplant and the partner charity Anthony Nolan. Departmental funding has allowed these organisations money to recruit young male donors most likely to be suitable to donate bone marrow. Anthony Nolan recruit donors in a variety of ways including groups of university students or ‘Marrow Groups’ that encourage younger individuals to register.
