On Victoria Darbishire's Radio5live programme this morning , live from Edinburgh , when she pointed out to her Scottish studio guests that in a few parts of Scotland average life-expectancy for men is only 54 they did'nt seem to want to talk about it .
My question is : Why is male life expectancy so low in those areas , and what can or should be done to begin to increase it ?
( Extreme apologies for my apostrophising of did'nt instead of didn't . I've no doubt severely upset a few of you . )
