THE region's worst locations for life expectancies for men and women have been identified in a NHS report.

- By AUSTEN SHAKESPEARE Local Democracy Reporter

Gateshead has been found to have the worst life expectancy for men in the North East, whereas County Durham has the worst life-span for women, according to NHS North East and Cumbria.

The report found males in Gateshead can expect to live on average just 76.5 years, compared to the national average of 79.3 years. Whereas, women in County Durham can expect a life span of just 80.8 years, around two years shorter than the national average.

The report is scheduled to be discussed next week at Gateshead Civic Centre, with representatives from all seven regional authorities.
