Public Health England and NHS England will launch the Collaborative TB Strategy for England 2015-2020 this year. The strategy sets out the improvements that need to be achieved across 10 key evidence based areas of action to reduce TB in England, and the mechanisms by which these should be delivered. One of the key evidence based areas of action is to reduce incidence of TB in under-served populations by providing specific and targeted outreach interventions (informed by proven models such as \u201cFind & Treat\u201d in London). These include specific services for active case finding for TB of the lungs among homeless people and those attending substance misuse services, use of mobile X-ray units (MXUs) with incentives for people to have chest X-rays, enhanced case management and return to service interventions to prevent loss to follow up.<\/p> <\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/p> There are a number of actions being taken to improve access to HIV testing and reduce late diagnosis, especially in areas with high inequalities. These include the Terrence Higgins Trust to manage a national HIV Prevention Contract which the Department funds; information PHE publishes on rates of late HIV diagnoses by LA, socio-demography, and risk group; and joint PHE and DH approaches to increase HIV testing through funding a national home-sampling service that resulted in a large number of the most at-risk getting tested for HIV.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Clinical commissioning groups are responsible for commissioning diabetes services, so they would decide, depending on local needs and circumstances, whether an outreach service was appropriate. The NHS Health Check plays an important role in reducing the risk of diabetes and identifying people earlier who have the disease and plays a key role in tackling health inequalities.<\/p> <\/p>"}
