BATTLE TO RAISE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

That this House congratulates students from Bournemouth and Poole College for their work in campaigning for cervical cancer screenings to be more readily available; is pleased that 1,000 lives a year are saved as a direct result of cervical cancer screening; recognises that eight out of 10 cases of cervical cancer are prevented from developing due to early screenings; acknowledges that the average age of repeated sexual activity in the UK is 16 years; and calls on the Government to reconsider its policy on cervical cancer screening to make screenings available to women at a younger age.
