The boroughs with the worst rates across north London for people taking up free 'MOT' health checks have been revealed.
Since April 2013, local authorities have been responsible for ensuring middle aged and elderly people sign up for NHS health checks.
People between 40 and 74, who have not already been diagnosed with heart disease, strokes, kidney disease or diabetes, will be invited to have for a check once every five years.
Around 20 per cent of the eligible population should have received a check during 2013/4 - although initial take-up rates may be lower.
