    DescriptionLife expectancy in Greater Manchester has increased since the city region was handed more powers by the government, researchers have found.

    The devolution deal saw the region gain more control over a range of services including health and social care.

    Manchester University's Philip Britteon said it was "the first robust evidence on the impact of devolution".

    Researchers said devolution's benefits were being felt in more deprived areas, suggesting a narrowing of inequality.
