Health written question – answered at on 27 April 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people were diagnosed with HIV-related tuberculosis in (a) England, (b) the Brighton and Hove primary care trust area and(c)East Sussex Downs and Weald primary care trust area in the latest period for which figures are available.
The latest information available is shown in the following table:
Three year average number and proportion of tuberculosis patients aged 15 and over co-infected with HIV, 2006 to 2008 | ||
2006-08 average | ||
Number | Proportion (percentage) | |
England | 560 | 7.5 |
Brighton and Hove City Primary Care Trust | 6 | 17.6 |
East Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust | <5 | Approx 10 |
Notes: 1. Matching is carried out retrospectively because of delay in reporting of cases and data are, therefore, available up to 2008 at present. 2. As there are only small numbers of cases in each of the primary care trusts (PCTs), three-year average numbers have been provided. 3. This figure does not include cases of co-infection in children because HIV in children is reported separately. 4. Numbers less than five are not shown because of possibility of deductive disclosure. Because of small number of cases by PCT we only provide three-year average numbers. Source: Health Protection Agency. |
