Finally, we have discussed TB a lot today. TB is a major issue. I was surprised today to hear that in 12 months we had an increase of 44% in TB through stock. That is unbelievable. An awful lot of funding is being invested into this. Could we look at different ways of investing funding into it? Do we have all the options as to why TB is spreading so much? I know a lot of work has been done on it. Is there more we can do to fight and to see the amount of funding that will have to be spent in order to curtail TB? The Minister might give an update on that.
