Liver disease is one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally. The profiles are designed to support local areas by providing data in a user-friendly format to allow them to assess the effect of liver disease in their areas and take action to prevent it.
Data is presented by county and unitary authority (upper tier local authority), integrated care board, former government office region and England. Districts and unitary authority (lower tier local authority) level data is also presented, where available.
