Rather shocking...
Across the country, healthy life expectancy in 2022-2024 was 60.7 years for men and 60.9 years for women, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
This was a drop of 1.8 and 2.5 years respectively compared with 2019 to 2021, and the lowest level since the analysis began in 2011.
The UK was one of only five of the world's richest 21 countries to see healthy life expectancy decline.
