The TB (tuberculosis) action plan will focus on the needs of those affected by TB and TB services whilst recognising the impact and learning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

It will support a year-on-year reduction in TB incidence and in-UK TB transmission and enable the UK to meet its commitment to the World Health Organization (WHO) elimination targets by 2035.
