Blackpool has been named as one of the top areas in the North to have lower life expectancies for babies
Babies born in Lancashire and the North of England are expected to live at least a year less than the English average, new data has found.
In the North East, life expectancy is around three years less than the best performing regions. Across the North, infant mortality was on average four in 1,000 live births, compared to three in 1,000 for London and the South East, equating to 144 more infant deaths in the North East in 2021. The North has higher rates of economic inactivity due to ill health or disability: 5.7% in the North East, 5.3% in the North West and 4.7% in Yorkshire and the Humber – compared to the English average of 4.1%
“However, a joined-up approach to tackle these inequalities at local and national level would help to rebalance regional health inequity.”
