<p>The Charity Commission for England and Wales publishes annual transparency data,
which includes analyses of its statutory inquiry, compliance and monitoring casework
according to the information on the register of charities and submitted by charities
in their annual returns.</p><p> </p><p>This includes a breakdown of casework statistics
by classification, beneficiary group, income, and the charities’ age (years since
registration) and can be seen here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/analysis-of-charities-subject-to-an-inquiry-or-compliance-case#inquiry-case-statistics:-2017-18"

</p><p>The Charity Commission does not provide case statistics specifically on charities
who promote the use of complementary and alternative medicine. The breakdown includes
charities classified as being for ‘advancement of health / saving lives’, but the
Commission does not disaggregate this classification any further, and some charities
may use or promote CAM therapies as one part of a much wider range of activities.</p><p>
</p><p>The Charity Commission has updated its approach to assessing the charitable
status of organisations that promote complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)
therapies. That approach is reflected in revised internal guidance and a report setting
out the outcome of its review, was published last week, and can be seen here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/updated-approach-to-assessing-applications-from-organisations-promoting-complementary-and-alternative-therapies"
