Tuberculosis
We already know that there is an isolation unit at Crowborough, and that all migrants who arrived by small boats and placed in our town are tested on arrival but what we didn't know is that 20% of these men are likely to have TB.
Russell Quirk an Essex Councillor recently had a site visit to Wethersfield which operates almost identically to Crowborough and he was given these figures by the Home Office.
Andrew Larter stated that migrants would be 'advised' to isolate but what if they refuse or abscond?
