LOWER CERVICAL SCREENING AGE TO 16 #SAVELIVES
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
I am a 26 year old woman Katie Revell recently denyed a smear test for over 2 months despite my mother suffering with cervical cancer. I was shocked to learn you cannot obtain an emergency smear in the event your GP says no. BRING BACK MOBILE SMEARING FROM AGES 16. #SPEAK FOR A SMEAR !!
TOO MANY YOUNG LADIES ARE LOSING LIVES TO THIS AWFUL DISEASE AND NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE. THIS NEEDS SERIOUS INVESTMENT BY GOVERNMENT AND NHS ENGLAND AND SWIFT ACTION TAKEN FAST!! THIS IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET AND SIMPLY MORE NEEDS IMPLEMENTING TO STOP AVOIDABLE DEATHS AND PROTECTING YOUNG GIRLS OF THE FUTURE!!
