This paper reports the number of sex workers in Scotland and England who are in contact with specialist services for sex workers. Then, using methods and multipliers derived from the frequently quoted Kinnell study (1999) the paper provides various updated estimates of the wider population of sex workers. We point out the limits of our estimates and the methodological difficulties of estimating the size of this hidden population. The paper argues that many claims about sex work made by politicians and the media are misleading especially where they conflate sex work with trafficking and abuse.

It is important that all doctors who diagnose tuberculosis, both pulmonary and nonpulmonary, ensure that their cases are notified according to the public health regulations. We appreciate that doctors in many specialties encounter tuberculosis only occasionally, and it is particularly these cases which may miss being notified unless special care is taken. The value of this survey would undoubtedly be enhanced if all cases in 1983 are in fact notified.
