Second paraggraph:

> The target of treating 80% of all known cases has already been met, and deaths from the virus have fallen by 36% in the last decade, just short of what is needed by 2030.

What is needed by 2030? There is no mention prior to this statement.

Later:

> NHS England says that since 2015, more than 100,000 people have been diagnosed and treated for hepatitis C, meaning the country is already meeting that target.

Again, what target are we talking about??

Much later:

> Prof Frankie Swords, NHS national medical director, added: "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.

Finally a target!

This isn't written by AI, this is just how BBC news articles are written. I find it frustrating too.

It's not AI the BBC is just that bad at news. Serious read anything by them at it's like they hate real information and just want random ass quotes from people.

Instead of not including the target, AI would have confidently stated some incorrect number.
