Children born in Blackpool today will spend over a decade with poor health and disability before they reach state pension age, new figures show.

Out of 150 areas in England, Blackpool ranked the worst in terms of how long people will live before developing a disability or health condition, with a significantly lower total life expectancy than other areas in England.

The Centre for Ageing Better revealed "unacceptable" inequalities in how long, and how healthily, babies born in different areas of England are expected to live.

Boys born in Blackpool today can expect to reach age 52 without a long-term physical or mental health condition that limits their daily activities, and girls are expected to reach 53.
