Consultation description

A successful strategy depends on the participation and commitment of many stakeholders and partners. We welcome your comments on the strategy and its annexes.

Public Health England Centres and other institutions will coordinate responses, and stakeholders should try and coordinate their responses as much as possible.

Please use the consultation form provided on the TB Strategy home page for comments and please send to: TBstrategyconsultation@phe.gov.uk.

The consultation deadline is 5pm on 24 June 2014.

All comments will be considered by the project team after the close of the consultation period, will then be summarised and responded to appropriately and a final collaborative TB strategy will be prepared and published thereafter to inform the planning round for 2015 to 2016.

Thank you very much for your contribution.
