The association of public health observatories produces what it calls
the 'slope index of inequalities', basically the difference in life
expectancy between the most deprived and least deprived deciles of IMD
2007 within each PCT
http://www.apho.org.uk/resource/item.aspx?RID=75019, although the areas
compared are not contiguous of course.

Individual PCTs may produce their own small area life expectancy
figures.  Those for Hull PCT, at ward level. May be found on Hull's
public health website www.hullpublichealth.org and Hull's JSNA website
www.jsnaonline.org where Instant Atlas maps are available.

Hope this is useful,

Iddy

Subject: Health inequality:

There is, according to the local PCT, a 16.8 year gap in life expectancy

experienced by female residents who live in the Macclesfield Town
Tytherington area compared to those living in Crewe's Central and Valley

area

This sort of local inforamtion is very useful politically.  Does anyone
know of, or is anyone capable of producing, a convenient useful source
of such stuff?  Ideally showing the most extreme disparities in close
proximity.

I presume that the smaller the areas the greater the disparities.  The
DPH in Huddersfield used to produce some good graphs showing the
contrasts between the two sides of the same road.
