Does the institute have any information on the differentials between North and South in public health? My understanding is that length of life, for example, is currently lengthening in the South of Ireland. In the North of Ireland, life expectancy is not as high and is actually falling. Have any good studies been done on what may be the widening gap in public health between North and South at the moment, or is that the case?
