• decide whether to give a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination to infants or children who meet the criteria as recommended in the Immunisation against infectious disease, chapter 32 - tuberculosis
• decide who meets the criteria for screening as part of the NHS England National latent tuberculosis infection testing and treatment programme
