Health of The Region

Following the work of our Health of the Region 2020 report we have now published an updated Health of the Region report for 2024.

Across the West Midlands, the length of time people live, and the length of time people live in good health, are much shorter than the national average. This was exposed and made worse by the coronavirus pandemic. Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities were among those most affected.
