Notes: 1. 2005 data include last quarter of 2004-05 data due to survey change from financial year to calendar year. 2. Trend tables show unweighted and weighted figures for 1998 to give an indication of the effect of the weighting. Bases for earlier years can be found in General Household Survey (GHS) reports for each year. Source: GHS, 2005. Office for National Statistics.

Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many cases of tuberculosis were diagnosed in each region of England in each year since 1997; and of these cases, what proportion in each region were of drug-resistant tuberculosis. [167875]
Dawn Primarolo:
The number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) by strategic health authority (SHA) are shown in the following table, with data from 1998-2006.
The Enhanced Tuberculosis Surveillance system (ETS) started in 1999. Prior to this, National TB Surveys were carried out every five years and this provided data for 1998.
