Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What progress his Department has made on improving life expectancy levels.
This question was answered on 13th January 2021
Life expectancy in recent years has been at its highest ever level. However the rate of improvement has stalled and we expect to see the adverse impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy in future. COVID-19 has also highlighted differences in health outcomes between communities and we remain committed to levelling up health outcomes so everyone can enjoy a long, healthy life.
