Life expectancy has fallen for the poorest women over the past nine years. What is the Minister’s analysis of why that has happened?
Stephen Hammond
I answered that question just a moment ago. As I said, Public Health England’s recent review made it clear that it is not possible to attribute the slowdown to any one cause. It is therefore important to tackle all the causes of the deterioration in life expectancy, which is why the Government will publish a prevention Green Paper later this year.
