UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) announcement
The latest provisional annual data for 2025 from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) shows that reported notifications of tuberculosis (TB) in England were broadly stable compared to 2024, with 5,424 people notified compared to 5,487 in 2024 – a decrease of 1.1%.
England now has a notification rate of 9.4 per 100,000 population. While this represents an increase above the pre-pandemic level of 8.36 per 100,000 in 2019, it remains below this century’s peak of 15.6 notifications per 100,000 population recorded in 2011.
