I have been asked to reply.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Dennis Roberts, dated January 2010:
The Director General for the Office for National Statistics has been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the average life expectancy was for people in each (a) local authority and (b) health authority area in each of the last three years. I am replying in his absence. (311722)
Life expectancy figures are calculated as three-year rolling averages, and are published annually by ONS . The tables provide the period life expectancy at birth for males and females in each (a) local authority in England and Wales (Table 1), and (b) primary care organisation in England and local health board in Wales (Table 2), for the 2006-08 period (the latest figures available). A copy has been placed in the House of Commons Library.
