Notes:
1. Numbers, for the North East region, are presented using a three-year moving average, as single-year estimates do not provide a robust guide to year-on-year changes. Hence, figures are not consistent with any previously published single-year estimates and there may be differences in changes over time. In circumstances such as a change in trend, moving averages will show less variation than single-year estimates. Information is not included for the first period for the North East as the disability marker was not used in the 1994-95 Family Resources Survey—thus no three-year average is calculated.
2. The table shows number of children in millions—rounded to the nearest 10,000.
3. In this answer low income is determined for children as living in households with incomes below 60 per cent. of the GB median.

Life Expectancy
Harry Cohen:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the average life expectancy is in each ward in (a) Redbridge and (b) Waltham Forest; and what the average life expectancy was in (i) 1996 and (ii) 2001. [100441]
John Healey:
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 7 November 2006:
8 Nov 2006 : Column 1538W
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the average life expectancy is in each ward in (a) Redbridge and (b) Waltham Forest; and what the average life expectancy was in (i) 1996 and (ii) 2001. (100441)
The attached tables provide the period life expectancy at birth, for men and women separately, in each ward in (a) Redbridge and (b) Waltham Forest in 1999-2003 combined (the only period available).
These figures are experimental statistics—that is, statistics which are in a testing or consultation phase and are not fully developed—and should therefore be treated with caution.

(1) Period life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average number of years a newborn baby would survive if he or she experienced the area’s age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout his or her life.
The figure reflects mortality among those living in the area in each time period, rather than mortality among those born in each area. It is not therefore the number of years a baby born in the area in each time period could actually expect to live, both because the death rates of the area are likely to change in the future and because many of those born in the area will live elsewhere for at least some part of their lives.
(2) Using boundaries as of 2005 and population estimates based on the 2001 Census for all the years shown.
(3) Five year averages, based on deaths registered in each year, and experimental ward population estimates based on the 2001 Census.
(4) Confidence intervals are a measure of the statistical precision of an estimate and show the range of uncertainty around the estimated figure. Calculations based on small numbers of events are often subject to random fluctuations. As a general rule, if the confidence interval around one figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures.
(5) The presence of medical and care communal establishments, such as nursing homes and hospices, can artificially depress the average life expectancy of the ward in which they are located. To aid interpretation of the figures, this indicator shows the proportion of the male population of each ward, aged 65 and over, who were resident in such establishments in 2001. For this purpose, all wards in England and Wales (not only the wards in these boroughs) were divided into six groups which are numbered from 0 to 5.
‘0’ means that none of the over-65 population lived in medical and care communal establishments.
‘1’ means that the proportion of the over-65 population in such establishments was in the lowest fifth of all wards.
‘5’ means that the proportion of the over-65 population in such establishments was in the highest fifth of all wards.
