Tuberculosis

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2018. It occurred during Backbench debate on Tuberculosis.

The right hon. Gentleman is making a very powerful speech. He is right to draw attention to the scale of the problem in the developed world as well as the developing world. In my constituency, the incidence is now about the same as in Sudan, at just over 80 per 100,000. Does he agree that it is important that people realise that, notwithstanding drug resistance, this is a treatable and curable condition and that people need to get help when they are suffering from it?
