"People living in the north of England
are more likely to die early than those in the south,
new figures have shown.
A national league table of premature mortality reveals
a clear north-south divide, with some areas suffering
more than twice as many early deaths as others.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt described the
regional differences in the number of people
dying under the age of 75 over a
two-year period as a "shocking variation".
The Longer Lives website from Public
Health England ranks local authorities
using a traffic light system, ranging from
red for the worst areas to green for the best.
Manchester was listed as the worst of England's
150 authorities for premature death,
while Wokingham's figures were the nation's best."
