Cases of tuberculosis (TB) are on the rise in England, according to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Health bosses warn the disease remains a “serious public health issue” in the country as rates of infection rose from 8.5 per 100,000 population in 2023 to 9.5 per 100,000 in 2024.
