The BBC writes:
London has become Europe’s TB capital because primary care trusts are failing to adopt measures drawn up four years ago, MPs and health campaigners say.

Just 55% of PCTs in England routinely screen new immigrants, according to a poll by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Tuberculosis.

One PCT with a very high TB rate had even scrapped its screening programme.

It has always struck me as strange that movements of livestock are much more intensely regulated than movements of people — even though movements of people have much bigger potential health effects.
