TB can kill there were 334 deaths in 2008. 8,621 people were infected in 2008

Additional Information

This is from the governments own TB report 2014, While TB rates in the UK continue to be unacceptably high compared to other comparable countries, it is encouraging that we have seen a small decrease in case numbers and incidence in the past two years. However, it is too early to tell whether this is the beginning of a downward trend. A small decrease since 2005 isn't good enough it should be higher
Although it can be cured, Prevention is better than cure National Statistics show the increase
