Nhs Charity Money

EDM number 662 in 2009-10, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 20/01/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Charities, Health finance and Health services.

That this House is concerned by HM Treasury plans to change the accounting system for NHS charitable money in April; believes the change is unnecessary and of no benefit to the NHS; notes the claim by the Charity Commission that it will amount to the nationalisation of charity money; fears the unintended consequence will be to discourage donations from the public to hospitals which add up annually to £330 million; and supports the campaign by The People newspaper to exempt NHS charitable giving from the new regulations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
