Report structure

This report presents data about people with tuberculosis (TB) disease notified to the national TB surveillance system (NTBS) in England and describes the epidemiology of TB disease in England up to the end of 2024.

This report is produced using a finalised data set and thus data presented here is not ‘provisional’ as reported in the more regular but less comprehensive quarterly statistics. However, changes can still occur to numbers reported due to late notifications and updates to records as more information becomes available. Therefore, data presented in the most recent report supersedes those previously published.

Most health protection functions are devolved to the other UK nations’ public health teams, so this report only covers TB notifications and data from England.

The report comprises the following:
