HEALTH in Haringey is among the worst in London, statistics published last week reveal.
Out of the 32 separate indicators, the borough was considered worse than the London average in 15 of them.
Worst areas included drug misuse, new cases in Tuberculosis, diabetes and male life expectancy which sits at 76.
But 35 in every 1000 residents are claiming incapacity benefit because of mental illness, according to the Department of Health report. That equals 1 in 29.
