This series includes the accredited official statistic publications on tuberculosis (TB) in cattle (bovine TB) in each of the three countries in Great Britain: England, Scotland, Wales. The statistics are reported at the county level for all countries, at the TB risk area level for England, and at the TB area level for Wales. It is important to note that TB control is a devolved policy, and as such control policies differ across the three countries as outlined in the releases and supplementary material. The interactive dashboard here is another way of viewing the statistics by county and risk area.
We have identified several ways we can better help users of the Accredited Official TB Statistics release to understand the complex disease picture across Great Britain, alongside the stats themselves. These will be implemented in the upcoming December 2024 release, and will include:
- Additional supplementary information documents available alongside the stats.
- Signposting to external sources of TB data that is not covered in the stats release, where it is available.
- Clarification of definitions used throughout the stats release.
The stats themselves will remain unchanged - all of the changes relate to the supplementary material provided alongside the stats.
As always, we encourage any users to send feedback about the release to tbstatistics@defra.gov.uk.
