Charity Commission shelves public benefit assessments for hospitals and health charities - Third Sector: "Tests on a sample of organisations cancelled because of lack of resources
The Charity Commission has scrapped plans to carry out public benefit assessments on private hospitals and other health charities, because of concerns over whether it has the funding to do so.
The commission announced in December that it would carry out a round of assessments on sports charities and charities working for 'the advancement of health', to test whether they could demonstrate they had charitable purposes and operated for the public benefit, as required by the Charities Act 2006."
