My question is on tuberculosis testing. The projected outturn or target is 8.4 million tests, while 8.5 million tests were carried out last year. How do we get rid of TB and, by extension, TB testing? We have made good progress in recent years, but surely the more progress we make the harder it is to get rid of the last of it. Is it realistic to suggest that we can eradicate TB when we consider the problems we have in the wild outside of our control stock?
