Marks & Spencer and period pants brand WUKA are asking the government to remove the 20% tax on period pants.
Business reporter, BBC News
But other period products such as pads, tampons and reusable menstrual cups have been exempt since 2021. The pants contain a highly absorbent pad and can be used with tampons or in place of sanitary pads. They can be washed and reused many times just like ordinary pants. Darcey has not had to throw any pairs away in the three years since she began using them so the initial cost has been outweighed by their durability, she said.Darcey Finch said she thought it was "unfair" that period pants have the 20% tax.

Association between troponin level and medium-term mortality in 20 000 hospital patientsIntroduction Cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations above the manufacturer recommended upper limit of normal (ULN) are frequently seen in hospital patients without a clinical presentation consistent with type 1 myocardial infarction, and the significance of this is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between medium-term mortality and cTn concentration in a large consecutive hospital population, regardless of whether there was a clinical indication for performing the test. Method This prospective observational study included 20 000 consecutive in-hospital and outpatient patients who had a blood test for any reason at a large teaching hospital, and in whom a hs-cTnI assay was measured, regardless of the original clinical indication. Mortality was obtained via NHS Digital. Results A total of 20 000 patients were included in the analysis and 18 282 of these (91.4%) did not have a clinical indication for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) testing. Overall, 2825 (14.1%) patients died at a median of 809 days. The mortality was significantly higher if the cTnI concentration was above the ULN (45.3% vs 12.3% p|0.001 log rank). Multivariable Cox analysis demonstrated that the log10 cTnI concentration was independently associated with mortality (HR 1.76 (95% CI 1.65 to 1.88)). Landmark analysis, excluding deaths within 30 days, showed the relationship between cTnI concentration and mortality persisted. Conclusion In a large, unselected hospital population, in 91.4% of whom there was no clinical indication for testing, cTnI concentration was independently associated with medium-term cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality in the statistical model tested. No data are available. The nature of the data sharing agreement with NHS Digital prevents sharing of these data.
