    Your best bet is to ring your local GP and ask. If he/she does not take the bloods in the surgery, they can easily be arranged at the local hospital (at no further cost). A TB test is not a blood test. It may involve a chest x-ray or a skin test.
    It takes about 2-3 weeks to get back results on viral blood tests. A chest x-ray report may take a similar length of time
