Smear tests to be once a year! Age of a smear test to drop to 18.

What the petition asks
I went to the doctors before Christmas for a smear test but because my 3 years wasn't due I was told to come back in the February, I'm now waiting to have my smear test to be done next week even though I've got symptoms for cervical cancer. No one should have to wait a whole 3 years for each test!
Everyone needs to be checked regularly, no one should have to wait!
