Longer Lives Initiative

Longer Lives is a new initiative from Public Health England (PHE).

It makes information about the health of the nation available to everyone and connects people with the knowledge and resources they need to help the country work together towards better health. This first phase of Longer Lives, presents data for the four biggest causes of premature mortality in England: cancer, heart disease / stroke, lung disease and liver disease highlighting variations across all the local authorities in England and offers guidance to help make improvements.
