The Collaborative Tuberculosis Strategy for England 2015-2020 has identified the need for provision of specific and targeted national outreach interventions to help tackle tuberculosis (TB) in under-served populations. Proposals to create this national plan will be developed in conjunction with relevant stakeholders. The specific details of these national service developments are in progress and the location of any regional TB outreach service is not yet confirmed.
