Scottish life expectancy in one city worst in UK as babies 'live 12 years less'

New research has named Glasgow's seven constituencies as the worst in the UK for life expectancy, while babies born in wealthy areas in London were expected to live the longest.

This is according to Health Equals, a coalition of 29 organisations, who are pushing to reduce medical inequalities. The group has analysed ONS data based on babies born this year to uncover the areas with the best and the worst life expectancies in the United Kingdom.

As reported by The Times, the 10 areas of the UK's 650 parliamentary constituencies that were found to have the lowest life expectancy all came from Scotland.
