CULTURAL BENEFITS 3-

TB Cases Soar In London

One of the Much toted benefits of Racial / Cultural diversity is that it will bring cultural enrichment, to a people sorely in need of it as if our own culture is some how lacking? but what are it’s real achievements?  

Tuberculosis is on the rise again, due to immigration. Despite the hopes of "bleeding heart Labour," immigration seems to be inexorably reinforcing the "Rainbow Coalition. London now has more cases of TB than any other city in Europe and is now the TB capital of the Europe. TB once eradicated in England and has not been a disease suffered by the English for generations has now been wilfully re introduced across our Nation.

 It is no coincidence that London the Largest City in the U.K is also home to the largest Immigrant communities at present London is 40% none white. This year there has been 2,938 new cases of TB, 43% of the total for England Since 1987, TB cases in the capital have risen by 73%. At the present rate of rise, TB cases in London will double in number in the next three to four years. The problem the Liberal elite will have us believe is the lack of money and specialists to tackle the problem. On the contrary the problem is of their own making, But guess who will be footing the cost of tackling this problem, whose children are now been exposed to TB and more worryingly DRUG resistant TB.

• Re - Introduction of Medieval Despise of TB in to England
• Introduction of Modern DRUG resistant TB in to England
• Increase Burden on the National Health service of £65,000 a patient
• Increase Burden on the National Health service cost of £5million a year to provide the extra specialist nurses and consultants needed in London

  Dr John Harvey, of the BTS, said: "Recent outbreaks of TB have shown that we cannot be complacent about this disease - it has leapt back out of the history books and we must beat it. It is vitally important that we continue to invest in 'contact tracing' and treating tuberculosis both to ensure that patients get the care they deserve and to prevent TB spreading from person to person across the UK.

  "This Government needs to wake up to the very real threat the recent and continuing rise of tuberculosis poses to the country - and take urgent action to stem this rise. We urge the Government to increase staffing levels to at least these minimum requirements to provide adequate care for patients with TB." 

  A report from Barnet, Enfield and Haringey reveals a recent outbreak of drug-resistant TB, which can cost £65,000 a patient to treat. There is a shortage of both consultants and specialist nurses in the area - with physicians covering a population of around 166,000, rather than the recommended 80,000.

  The British Thoracic Society estimates that it would cost £5million a year to provide the extra specialist nurses and consultants needed in London.

  A major problem in London is that the disease is often diagnosed among asylum seekers who are a transient population and often do not complete courses of antibiotics, which need to be taken for six months or more
