Wirral's Public Health Annual Report 2017

Wirral's Public Health Annual Report 2017
Life expectancy at birth has improved both nationally and in Wirral over several decades. Despite this, gaps persist between the north and south of England and between men and women.

This report highlights the inequalities in life expectancy we see across Wirral and shows that this can be partially explained by differences in avoidable mortality - deaths which might be prevented through public health interventions or better healthcare provision.
