What the petition asks
On average every 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and early detection can significantly improve the chances of recovery.
In the UK the NHS currently invite all women between the ages of 50-70 years old for a mammogram every 3 years. I believe the age should be lowered to 21+.

Further information about breast cancer and the options available to people who may be effected by this disease can be found on the NHS choices website.
