Dept of Health

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what prevention and awareness campaigns about tuberculosis took place in London in each of the last two years.

Answer: Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what prevention and awareness campaigns about tuberculosis took place in London in each of the last two years. [106568] Ms Blears: The Department launched a tuberculosis awareness campaign on 25 March 2002. This included media and press advertisements, posters and leaflets and some public relations outreach work. The devolution of power to local national health service organisations means that primary care trusts and trusts are responsible for mounting their own programmes. We are aware of various on-going TB awareness programmes in London sectors.
