What do you mean by this? The article quotes an NHS director backing up the statement in the title.

> England is now leading the world in the mission to eliminate this disease and on course to beat the WHO's 2030 target, but we are determined to keep up the momentum and finish the job.

Seems fairly unambiguous to me

There is a lack of understanding, but it's coming from you not the BBC.

There is a difference between elimination and eradication.

As usual you fail to understand nuance.
