Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Health Inequalities.


Health Inequalities

I shall give an example with which my hon. Friend may not be familiar, from my own area of Wolverhampton. Infant mortality improvement has completely stalled in recent years, and male life expectancy is rising at a much slower rate than national male life expectancy. That may well be related to Wolverhampton City PCTs having been under formula for many years.
